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

Product Information

I have heard many stories just like yours where moms found the Spectra pumps were more efficient than most larger more expensive ones. That’s a great thing for moms who are worried about their milk supply suffering from inadequate drainage.

According to Medela, the maximum amount of time you can keep the milk in this storage type is 24 hours, then you'll need to move to a refrigerator or freezer (see the breast milk storage guidelines to the right). We can't tell you how nice the padding feels, and what a difference that little feature makes when you're pumping several times a day!

Loved by moms and lactation consultants worldwide, the Spectra S1 electric breast pump is designed to bring confidence and comfort to every moment of the breastfeeding journey. One mom reported that she was a little frustrated with battery life, noting that the battery did not do a great job holding a charge. Also, we were surprised to see how impressively quiet it is, which helps when trying to be discreet at home or in the workplace. This will compensate for the fact that wearable pumps are simply less powerful and are likely to produce a bit less milk than a traditional double-electric pump. I have always thought about becoming a surrogate (unfortunately I don’t qualify because of a condition that makes my pregnancies high risk).

Most breast pumps suggest increasing the vacuum speed/strength until you feel slight discomfort and then backing down a bit. One said that it increased her milk supply after about 5 days of use, and she was so confident that it was due to this pump that she kept using it (replacing her AVENT pump).Made in the USA and sold with a sleek tote or backpack, the Medela Pump in Style is the most versatile option on the market. The best part is having an accurate log of pumping sessions, including when they happened and how long they lasted.

Moms who only plan to pump once or twice a day may want to go with Tomy The First Years Quiet Expressions pump. One of our testing moms had been using a Spectra S1 pump until trying this one and was floored by how much more milk the Medela pump was able to pump in a similar amount of time.We recommend using a darker-color bra to prevent the power light from shining through your clothing. This is very important function, because it prevents from contamination and ensures the pumping process is more hygienic – thus safer for the mom and for the child. The battery life is great, features are good, comfort is high, and from what we could tell it is very reliable.

That's something to be applauded, and we think Evenflo made a great first attempt at a breast pump hitting all these points.Second, she said the shields were comfortable and effective at keeping a seal, but they weren't as easy to see through as most shields, due to the white edge.
