If you are planning on breastfeeding and pumping the Medela Harmony Pump is a MUST HAVE! In this short video tutorial, I am going to show you how to use the Medela Harmony pump and how to assemble it correctly. I will also be providing convenient tips and also showing off bottle options that you can use with this hand pump.
When I first started pumping I only had one of those big Medela pumping machines and you can imagine how convenient that was to lug around. I finally took the plunge and ordered one of these portable pumping bad boys and haven’t looked back!

--- BENEFITS OF THE MEDELA HARMONY PUMP
If you are going to be traveling without your baby, this pump is lightweight to pack and will relieve you, keeping you on track with your nursing schedule. No more, sore and engorged boobies!

There were so many times we were in the car and we didn’t have time to stop and feed our hungry infant. I’d pull the Harmony out, pump, then I’d hand him the bottle. Don’t worry, I was in the passenger seat or back while doing this! 😛

Breastfeeding HURTS! At least it did for me a lot of the time. Sometimes it was nice to take a break from the little nibbler and use my hand pump.

I had a fancy pumping station set-up in my room but sometimes it was just too darn cold to get out of my bed. Having a manual hand pump allowed me to easily grab and pump in the comfort of my warm cozy bed.

I never had to worry about finding a plug-in or charging this pump. There are no batteries and only a small amount of assembly required.

There are no tubes for milk and mildew to get stuck inside of unlike the other Medela breast pumps.

This pump was compatible with all types of bottles and Medela breastmilk storage bags.

For a little hand pump, it had more power than I imagined it would. It wasn’t as powerful as my Pump In Style, but it got the job done!

Thank you so much for this video! I thought something was up when I was using the pump, I got mine used as well and it didn't come with instructions on how to put it together.

So I found your video, followed it as best as I could, and presto it works wonderfully! I'm 30 weeks along and want to be as prepared as possible for my first baby. I'm not lactating yet but my doctor says that it doesn't hurt to be ready for anything.

Got my subscription!

I read the manual over and over and this is the first im hearing about a particular valve placement. So far I have nothing good to say about this pump but tomorrow I will try your valve recommendation and see if it improves things. I’m not happy with the amount of suction. I also have to work a long time for little results. I find if I’m not hunched over the little milk I am able to get with this thing spills out. Note: I have zero issues and produce a good amount of milk with an electric pump.

Hello!
Your video is really helpful, you have explained it very well and in detail.Thank you so much for making this video ❤ Much appreciated 👍

I haven’t used this pump for nearly two years but now that my son is self weaning I pulled it out again. Today was the first time I saw the letdown feature of the pump and came here to verify if I had been using it wrong this whole time… I was 🤣 funnily enough I got this at a hospital and the only thing my lactation consultant said was to have my nipple centered to the flange.

I plan on using a haakaa on the other side to catch the milk. I just do not want to waste any milk. Great video

[chenchaberrinchessoto]

Thanks!!
I have been using it all wrong. Ha!
You would think I know better since I used manual breast pump with my first 2 kids.
However, this is the first time I use Medela brand and I love it. Now thanks to you, I love it even more.
Thanks again.

Does the little membrane piece need to be replaced at each pumping or is it just cleaned?

[sakurafox]

Do I need to buy two and use them both at the same time or do I just buy one and switch breasts? Please help I am confused. I failed at breastfeeding and pumping (used an automatic pump) with my last baby and now I am going to try it again with my second baby.

[jayasrisathishkumar]

It's oly working for 3 months. Suction was reduced. How can I get spare parts. Pump

[RizwanKhan-kunc]

[rawandrobi]

[EDominos]

Hi, which parts are you supposed to wash each time after using? Thanks!

[nausheenali]

Why does mine break apart after pumping it by hand? I mean the top part falls off where I pump. Please help! Is this also easy to use on an airplane! Thanks.

[hazirah]

[monimayra]

[onesx]

My wife had a bad experience with this pump, didnt really work for her. Tripple checked instructions and no luck expressing milk

[rachelthole]

Does it come with the milk storage bag adapter to pump into storage bags or is that sold seperately

[joe-pziy]

Really does it work? it is better than worked with electrics

[MH-ncwu]

I am a breastfeeding mom for a year now but I feel like I don't produce enough milk due to low demand ( coz he gets solid food)., so I thought I should buy a pump to make my body understand I need more milk. is it gonna work for this purpose?? plz help
