Calma

Medela's Calma is designed exclusively as an alternative to breastfeeding for moms wishing to feed their babies with breast milk. It is ideal for moms wanting to share feedings with a partner. Calma was developed in cooperation with breastfeeding experts from the Hartmann Human Lactation Research Group at the University of Western Australia.

Calma allows your baby to suck, swallow and breathe just as they learned to at the breast:

• Baby is in control: your baby can drink, pause and breathe in a natural rhythm, remaining calm and settled, just like on the breast
• Natural feeding behaviour: your baby needs to create a vacuum to start the milk flow, just like they do while breastfeeding. The vacuum and mouth positioning with Calma engage the same orofacial muscles as when breastfeeding.  
• Preventing nipple confusion: babies maintain their natural sucking behaviour, allowing an easy transition from breast to Calma and back to breast again.
