#SPECTRA S2 PLUS PREMIER ELECTRIC BREAST PUMP UPDATE#

The Medela Freestyle Breast Pump is a small, yellow handheld device that charges like a phone, meaning you can plug it into the wall to use or charge and then it will run off of battery power. Okay, so I am now seeing that these “categories” aren’t really helpful, and I just sort of went back and forth in the pump reviews up above. So, if I had to pick the machine to help increase production, I would go with the Spectra. Actually, I’ve never been a great milk producer, but I get by.

I’ll continue to monitor my milk output and update this post if I notice a big difference between the two devices.

I also think that I get more milk out with the Spectra S2, but not enough to make a big say-so about it. With the Spectra, I’m never annoyed by the droning sounds of the machine and it even lulls me into some pleasant daydreams (love!). And, every once and a while the sound of the Medela realllly starts to get to me and I end up rocking back and forth in the chair to distract myself from the sounds. I realize that I might be the only one out there who cares, but certain sounds get to me. Something about its suction and vibration make for a more comfortable experience than the Medela. I’m just going to give my straight up opinion here: the Spectra feels better while in use. However, what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in other areas. So, right off the bat I would say, the Spectra is not as travel-friendly as Medela Pump and Go. That’s right, the Spectra S2 Plus plugs into the wall for power, unlike the Medela Freestyle Breast Pump, which charges like a cell phone and holds battery power. It’s a heavy-ish pink and white orb with a handle, and a plug. SPECTRA S2Ĭan I first say, how stinkin’ precious is this milk pump? It’s like something right out of the minds of Sanrio, fit for Hello Kitty herself. I’m sure scientists everywhere would be outraged by my total and utter lack of methodology, but I’ll press on none-the-less. There is no rhyme or reason to which one I use when, so I am simply providing an average, overall review of both. I’ve been using both for a few months now, following my afore mentioned three times a day on weekday schedule. It’s a hospital grade machine for a fraction of the price of other “pro” models. My pick was the highly rated (yet deliciously affordable) Spectra S2 Plus Premier Electric Breast Pump. Since pumps are discounted through my insurance provider, I decided to follow my dreams and get a second pump for this, my second kid. Instead, I use my pump about three times a day on weekdays while I am at work. I didn’t then (nor do I now) exclusively pump. I used that pump for a year while I was nursing him. I’ve had the Medela Freestyle Breast Pump for three years now, going back to the birth of my first born. After months of using both models I’m going to break down the pros and cons of each which will hopefully help you make the best choice for your needs. Weighs only 2.If you’re looking for the best electric double breast milk pump, these two models have almost certainly come up in your search.We Understand.ĭon’t worry about the light- your new S2Plus pump has one.

We thought hard about things like “adjustable suction levels” because that provides a more natural flow of milk. Spectra Baby spent years developing features for the S2Plus like “backflow protection” to keep your breast milk from harmful bacteria – there’s a lot more. Our Founder, Heidi Humphries, insisted on the quietest motor available for the S2Plus, which when in the “massage mode” simulates the natural suckling of baby. Its color was selected by our Lactation Specialists to soothe.
