"Each new product meets a unique need or request from moms. Medela is committed to developing new breast pumps and accessories to support moms through every step of their breastfeeding journeys," said Melissa Gonzales, managing director for Medela USA. "We heard from moms that the breast milk feeding experience is beautiful, a precious opportunity to bond and give their babies a healthy start, and that it can also be complex to juggle as a new mom. We listened to their needs and challenges and incorporated that feedback in an effort to make their lives easier and less stressful."
