Set the stage to THRIVE. You have the power to shape lactation outcomes from the very beginning. Timely and effective milk removal, particularly for pump-dependent parents, is essential to establishing a strong and sustainable milk supply.

Medela’s clinically proven Initiation Technology™ supports early secretory activation, helping to optimize milk production and reduce the risk of delayed lactogenesis.

Key Clinical Insight:

Days 1–5: Initiate milk production (secretory activation)
Days 6–14: Build milk volume capacity
Post-Day 14: Maintain established supply
Clinical Goal: ≥500 mL/24 hr. by Day 14
Start early. Support effectively. Strengthen outcomes.
