Spectra S1 Plus Hospital Grade Double Electric Breast Pump with Rechargeable Battery, Blue

Product Information

There is nothing worse than having an expensive pump with weak power and suction. Already slaves to the milk machine, a weak breast pump would have you tearing your hair out. In this article, I’ll discuss in great details how you should pump with your Spectra to maximize your pumping output. From my experience, Spectra is very efficient in removing milk, but if you are like me, not wanting to waste any single drop, practicing hand-expression / manual pumping will still get you some extra milk (5-15 ml), not bad for some extra milk. However, if your milk stops spraying before the suction stops, you may benefit from increasing the cycle speed. On the other hand, if your milk still sprays a lot at the end of one suction cycle, consider lowering the cycle speed.

With Spectra S1 and S2 you can pump both breasts simultaneously. Expressing milk from both breasts at the same time is really convenient and obviously much faster. You will need an adapter for the Medela parts to work with the Spectra pump. This will need to be an aftermarket item since Spectra obviously doesn’t make one. There are two different adapters depending on what you want to do: When you’re comparing Spectra and Medela pumps, you want to compare the same “level” of pump for it to be a fair comparision.Many Spectra users have said that what they liked most about their pump was that it was much gentler than other pumps they’d used. The S1 and S2 Spectra models are double electric breast pumps. (A “double” pump means that you can pump both breasts at the same time when using it. If you’d like to pump on just one side, it’s possible to set it up to do that, too.) This feature makes the S1 model more convenient and portable. When it’s time for your pumping sessions, you don’t have to search for a power outlet.

The main concern is keeping the tubing dry and clean. “Dry Pumping” or running the pump for a minute or two after you are done pumping will help dry the tubing out. You will also need to sanitize the tubing often (by boiling) and replace it every so often. Proper cleaning and maintenance of the tubing will prevent mold and build up. These two pumps are a little bigger and less portable than some of the other pumps on the market. However, those smaller pumps (like the Freestyle Flex or the Willow) are often much more expensive. On the other hand, in most cases the insurance covers Spectra S1 cost partially. This upgraded model has rechargeable battery that may not be covered by insurance and you may have to pay for it.
