I am so glad that I bought this pump, after struggling with breast milk supply and not being able to express enough with another pump that I had previously bought, the spectra came to my rescue. It’s easy to use and has nice features such as the night light. wish I had bought this in the beginning itself.” – Geetha, mom of two

Although you can hand express breastmilk, most mums who express often use a breast pump to collect the milk. It can help increase your milk supply too, and means your partner can share the feeding. Just bear in mind that it’s advised you don’t offer your newborn a bottle before they're six weeks old. But perhaps the best thing about the Spectra Wearable Electric Breast Pump is that it allows you to continue providing your baby with the best possible nutrition, even if you’re away from them for a little while. With its discreet and efficient design, you can pump anywhere and anytime, without having to sacrifice time with your little one.This is because you are teaching your body how much milk to produce and you may end up with an unwanted over-supply that could cause it’s owns complications later on. Place the shield onto your breast, ensuring a good seal. You can adjust suction levels using the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons. Start at low suction and then gradually increase it until it’s comfortable and milk starts to flow. The nice thing about the two most common Spectra Breast Pump models S1 and S2, is that the buttons and settings are the same.

Speaking of long pumping sessions - those are no more. The speCtra s2 empties me in half the time - and we all know how important time is with little ones running around! Please note that this device is a medical device intended for personal use only. To ensure your safety and the safety of others, please take the following precautions:You may also notice that your baby is having a hard time latching when your breasts are engorged. Or, they pull off the breast right away due to an overly powerful letdown.

When you see milk stop flowing, return to massage mode and try to initiate another letdown to repeat the process. Give yourself a few minutes of massage mode before switching to expression mode to ensure your let-down reflex is triggered.

First, the bottles aren't that great - the bottom of one bulged out after I did the initial sterilization of everything (in boiling water, for 5 minutes, as per the instructions), so it won't stand up any more. No pump will ever feel like a nursing baby, but the S1 comes closer than most. Being able to tinker with the cycle length and vacuum speed means that you can make the smallest changes for your own comfort. After experimenting with different cycle speeds for letdown and expression, I found that I was able to speed up production. I could express as much milk in four or five minutes as I could in ten minutes with a Medela pump. Pump Motor: The pump motor should never be washed or sterilized. Instead, wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth as needed. Relaxation: Stress can interfere with milk production. Try to create a comfortable, stress-free environment when you pump. You can listen to music, watch a show, or practice deep breathing techniques.

Let’s also look at some Spectra Pump settings you can try out for yourself based on the goal of the particular pumping session. Proper Fitting Shield: Ensure that the breast shield fits correctly. An incorrect size can decrease your milk output and cause discomfort.Spectra Breastfeeding Support Team – If you have any questions or need help troubleshooting, the Spectra breastfeeding support team is here to assist. Remember to take breaks while pumping, and give yourself time to relax and recharge. Investing in a comfortable chair or a breast pump bra can help make the process more enjoyable. Additionally, listening to music or podcasts while you pump-it can help take your mind off things and make the experience more enjoyable. Related: How to Combine Breastfeeding and Pumping? How do I pump more with Spectra settings for newborn? The Spectra pump comes with two different modes of expression – the let-down and expression modes. Understanding these modes is important to select the most suitable one for you. The let-down mode is designed to stimulate the breast, while the expression mode is designed to express the milk. You can switch between these spectra pump settings for colostrum with the help of the Mode button. Please remember though, that these pump settings are simply examples. You should never keep pumping if you feel any pain or discomfort. Spectra Settings for Most Milk
