Medela Calma

The Medela Calma is a new product from Medela, designed to, well, sell more product from Medela.

What it also is, is a genuine solution to mums that plan to go back to work after baby and want to continue breastfeeding as part of that.  (yes, you most definitely can keep breastfeeding even returning to work full or part time!)

If breastfeeding breaks aren't a possible option, then expressing and bottles will be and the deal with the Calma feeding system, is that milk will only flow if the baby works and creates vacuum to get it - in as close a way as possible to feeding directly at the breast.

With Calma:

• Mum only needs one type of teat throughout her breastfeeding duration.
• Baby can feed, pause and breathe regularly. 
• Milk will not flow unless a vacuum is created. 
• Milk flow stops when the baby relaxes to pause and breathe. 
• The baby’s natural sucking rhythm will be maintained, enabling easy transition back to the breast.

The Calma is a teat specifically designed for bottle feeding breast milk but we recommend you abandon thoughts of breastpumps and bottles UNTIL you have established breastfeeding.  This might take 2 weeks, it might take 6 or longer!

Why you should shop at a specialist

Had a customer email recently saying she had been told by another shop that she needed to replace the motor on her Medela Mini-Electric Breast Pump

Having owned one of these pumps myself and very familar with the product range I answered that yes we could get a new motor for her (and she wouldn't get much change from $130) but please check a couple of things for me.

One email later, we'd diagnosed the issue and the next day for under $20 including delivery she'd received her parts from us and the pump is working good as new.

gr8x Nappy Bags and Medela breast pumps

Blog Directory



After months and months of waiting the new gr8x bags finally turned up today. Was it worth the wait? Definitely!!! They are so cool! Heaps of bag and accessories for a really reasonable price I reckon.

Had a great catch up with some Mum friends today - had to rush around in the morning getting all the orders ready but it was worth it. :)




We've had lots of requests for the biggest and best Medela Breast pump so we've added the Pump In Style Advanced to our range. This is the super-doody pump if you are returning to work or need to use a breast pump for an extended period of time.

A rather grrr moment today when not one but TWO couriers didn't show up!! - Customers very understanding but very frustrating when you want to be able to reply on delivery times
