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

Product Information

Ironically some of the best pumps on the market are personal pumps and cost a fraction of a hospital-grade pump. The Spectra s1 breast pump is a fraction of the price of the Medela Symphony, and comes with everything you need to start pumping immediately. Two modes, including “massage mode” to help with the letdown reflex, and an “expression mode” for once your milk has let down. Hi, I have not found adapters for either the Tommee Tippee or the Munchkin Latch that fit the S2. There may be some made by a secondary brand like MayMom but I have not come across them. So you would likely need to pump into the Spectra collection bottles and then transfer the milk to the Tommee Tippee or Munchkin Latch to feed. If you’ve used any of the Spectra pumps, please feel free to chime in with your experience in the comments! The Medela Symphony, on the other hand, isn’t that quiet. If you have ever walked down a maternity ward visiting a new mom, you would probably be able to hear a ‘symphony’ of hospital-grade pumps working away by the time you find the new mom you are visiting.

Best pump ever. And the best service. The team answers and actions very promptly. My only suggestion would be for the company to have a trial, test and learning session of the pump for first time mothers. As at this stage mothers are not confident about which pump to chose and how to properly use it. I believe when investing this huge amount in the pump, there should be a free session prior to be sure. While we know that breastfeeding carries many benefits for your child's development, research also shows that intermittent pumping can increase milk supply and help busy and working moms breastfeed for longer. But finding the perfect breast pump can be a struggle! The best way to determine to which pump you want is to think about what features are most important to you. Examples might be: Fortunately, we've been reviewing breast pumps for over 10 years, and if we made our own, here is what it would look like:Winner: Medela Symphony’s battery lasts just 60 minutes, while Spectra S1 lasts for up to 3 hours of pumping! There are also two other, minor differences: Spectra S2 pump is slightly smaller and comes in pink, in contrast to S1 pump which is blue. Spectra S1 and S2 Breast Pumps – Similarities Spectra S9 Plus is the best choice for moms who want to pump the milk only occasionally or need a small and portable breast pump for travel. Medela’s basic pump in the Pump in Style with Max Flow, while Spectra’s is the S2. Both are good pumps, but neither has a rechargeable battery. Spectra offers two fantastic breast pumps – the S1 and the S2. What are the differences, and which one is right for you? Here are the features of each pump, and what you need to know to choose between the two Spectra breast pumps.

But not all moms have a need or want for the battery, in which case, you can get yourself a great pump at a super low price in the Spectra S2. Best Price for the Performance The Spectra s1 pump has strong suction at 270 mmHg and a soft touch button with a massage and expression mode. This is on the high end as the range of power is between 250 mmHg and 300 mmHg. I hope this little guide helps you to understand how to use Spectra S1 or S2 breast pump and get the most milk from your breast.In contrast to S1 breast pump, Spectra S2 needs to be plugged into the electrical outlet. It works only with an AC adapter. What is your budget – are you willing to pay a bit more for the portable pump and possibility to collect your breast milk anywhere? 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. So, if your milk does not spray right away once you turn on the breast pump, it’s totally normal. Relax. That’s why we use let-down mode to stimulate milk release from the breast. Spectra S2 is just as powerful as Spectra S1. Both have 2 pumping phases which are called Massage and Expression mode. The speed in Massage mode is is 70 cycles per minute. During this phase you cannot change the speed, but you can adjust the suction strength (from 1 to 5).

PS: A lot of moms have mistaken that the moment Spectra turns on, it’s already in let-down mode. Some of them were frustrated how come they can only adjust the vacuum strength up to 5 in expression mode. Turns out, they got it all wrong. One lady in Reddit was not even aware about this for months. So take note, ladies ;). (3) Switching to let-down mode / massage mode

Despite its intense powerhouse look, the Medela Symphony, on the other hand, goes up to a maximum of 250 mmHg despite being hospital-grade.
