How do you use Medela Solo™ breast pump?
The Solo™ single electric breast pump was designed to be easy to use thanks to intuitive controls. This user-friendly pump has only four buttons, and simple icons show the main functions. It comes with nine pre-programmed settings to make it easy for you to choose your Maximum Comfort Vacuum level.
Can I turn my Solo™ breast pump into a double?
No, Solo™’s breast pump motor is not suitable for generating sufficient vacuum to extract milk from both breasts at the same time. If you express milk regularly and are interested in a traditional double electric breast pump you should consider Medela’s Swing Maxi. If you want a wearable double electric breast pump, we would recommend Medela’s Freestyle Hands Free breast pump. Double pumping not only saves you time by making pumping twice as fast, but also gives you up to 18% more milk4.
How do I select the correct breast shield size?
To select the correct breast shield size, measure the diameter of your nipple and choose a breast shield that is slightly larger than your nipple. You can find sizing information at www.medela.com/fittingguide
Can I buy different Personal Fit Flex Shield Sizes?
Yes, PersonalFit Flex™ breast shields are available in various sizes (S, M, L, XL), and you can purchase them separately on our online shop to customize your pumping experience according to your needs and preferences.
