MCHENRY, Ill., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --  Medela, Inc., the #1 recommended breast pump brand*, is excited to announce that the Nursing Sleep Bra and the much-loved Easy Expression Bustier, are better than ever, featuring design updates inspired by moms. These innovative changes are part of Medela's growing portfolio of products that moms trust when they welcome a new baby into the family.

"We have an amazing community of moms who we engage, listen to, and we innovate with them in mind to make products that will support their lifestyle, and the health of their babies," said Susan Rappin, vice president of marketing for Medela, Inc. "The Easy Expression Bustier and Nursing Sleep Bra are part of our essentials line because they help mom give her baby a healthy start."

The new essential accessories include a bustier to complement Medela's double-electric breast pumps and an updated nursing sleep bra.

• Easy Expression Bustier: Redesigned with Adaptive Stretch™ technology, the new Easy Expression Bustier adapts to mom's changing body, providing an exceptional fit and comfort throughout her breast milk pumping journey.  Now with reinforced openings for superior no-slip support and an integrated top hook making it easy to zip, the bustier can be worn alone or over a nursing bra or camisole.  The machine-washable, soft nylon and spandex fabric will be available in nude and black, supporting a broader range of sizes and will retail for $39.99.
• Nursing Sleep Bra: The new Nursing Sleep Bra provides mom with a seamless, tag-free, racer back design.  The nylon spandex fabric blend adapts to mom's changing shape and has unique wicking properties to keep mom cool and comfortable all night long. The Nursing Sleep Bra's crisscross front ensures that mom can feed baby easily and quickly, a must for night-time feeding.  The design features a wider lower band to prevent it from riding up. The Nursing Bra will be available for $19.99.
