Medela

For more than 50 years, Medela has developed from a small family owned company in Switzerland. They have taken it to a global producer of technologically advanced breastpumps and Medical Vacuum Technology.

Medela’s primary focus is breastfeeding. By helping mums to successfully breastfeed their babies and to do so for as long as they choose. Meeting this goal responsibly is at the heart of everything we do.

We pledge our dedication to breastfeeding as the best nutrition for babies and families. We further pledge that our breastfeeding accessory products and literature shall never be used to influence mothers to switch from breastfeeding to infant formula feeding. Nor shall our breastfeeding accessory products and literature be used in any way to promote artificial baby milk.
