At Medela, we are happy to see the dialogue which occurs on the LACTNET
between professionals in the breastfeeding community.  Sharing questions,
comments and insights is one way we all can benefit and improve the quality
of products and services we provide to breastfeeding mothers.  That
commitment is the driving force behind all that Medela does in the way of
developing products, services and support for breastfeeding.

We would like to reinforce that commitment to you, by encouraging anyone
who have questions about a Medela product or service, to contact us.  We
want to know what is happening because it is through your experiences and
input that we can improve and develop new products to benefit everyone in
breastfeeding.

We have been made aware that several questions exist concerning our
recommendations for the use of our breastpumps.  Because we too are
concerned with sharing information on the appropriate uses of our pumps, we
developed recommendations available on our website at
http://www.medela.com.  Just click on the segment, "How to Choose a
Breastpump."  This information is also available on a flipchart and
corresponding wall poster .   Both the flipchart and wall poster are
available free of charge by calling Medela's Customer Service Team. If you
need this number please contact me.

Medela appreciates your commitment in working with breastfeeding mothers
and your support of our products.  Please let us know if you can be of
assistance to you.
