Recycling has become a pretty common activity in our everyday lives. We recycle at home, we recycle at work, we even have recycling bins on the streets now! But what about the bigger items that we no longer need? Take for instance, breast pumps. What do we do with breast pumps once we are done with our breastfeeding experience?
Introducing Medela Recycles
Medela has heard the voices of moms and taken the initiative to create Medela Recycles. Medela Recycles is a program which takes our old breast pumps and uses each one to support the donation of new hospital-grade, multi-use breast pumps to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Moms who have babies who need to stay in the NICU get breast pumps while in the hospital but once their time is up they often move over to stay at a Ronald McDonald House without a pump. Medela wants to help change that. Medela wants to give moms one less thing to worry about in an already stressful time.
Sending your used pump to the Medela Recycles program is free and lets you properly recycle your pump plus you get the bonus of knowing you are helping to support other moms on their breastfeeding journey.
The Freestyle is a compact, lightweight double electric breast pump with a rechargeable battery. Developed with the 2-Phase Expression technology, the Freestyle works more like breastfeeding babies to help you get the most milk.
Open to the US only, ages 18 and up. Ends July 14, 2015 at 11:59pm EST

All of my friends have used the Medela systems and love them.
Ahh! I had this breast pump with my first daughter, it was the best! Made my pumping-as-a-new-mom life so much easier. With low supply I was able to boost it with this by power pumping and some lactation cookies (snappy snacks, yum!). I honestly think if I’d used any other pump I probably would have given up nursing, but because this gave me the freedom of hands-free and double electric it was my saviour! There is nothing that compares to being able to pump while doing the dishes, cooking dinner, changing a diaper and not being tied up to JUST pumping. If your a mother who is struggling with your nursing, or needs to pump often, or even while your at work this is the best tool to keep your breastfeeding journey as easy as possible!
I’m currently bf and my baby is ebf. I have tried the manual pump and would love to get the chance to win this freestyle!! Thanks for the chance 🙂
