I actually found that for me, the massage mode seemed to mimic the Medela expression mode better, because the Medela expression mode seemed faster than the Spectra. What it does do is allow for more adjustment. In expression mode the cycles go up to a maximum of 54 a minute, while the suction level can go up to a 12.Īt first glance it seems like with 4 possible numbers to adjust, the Spectra seems a bit for complicated.
The Spectra pump also has 2 modes, a massage mode that can go up to 70 cycles a minute. The let down mode is lighter suction and faster, while the the suction on expression mode is meant to be slower and with greater suction. You can increase the intensity of the let down mode to compensate.
You may have to pause a pump session unexpectedly and then be forced to start in the let down mode. It's possible to experience several let downs in a session, so it's not altogether a bad thing to try another let down session in the middle of a pump session, but you do not have control over the length and timing. If you turn the pump off in the middle of a session, it can only start in the let down mode. If you need to return to the let down mode, you can press the let down button, but there is no way to return to the expression mode automatically. Let down mode occurs for about 2 minutes before transitioning to the expression mode automatically. The let down mode mimics the initial suckling a baby does to stimulate the let down, that tingling feeling mom gets before milk begins to flow continuously. The Medela pump intensity has 2 modes, a let down and then expression mode.
SPECTRA 9 VS SPECTRA S2 PORTABLE
The S1 portable one is blue, and the S2 plug in option is pink. I mix these up constantly because, shouldn't the one with the rechargeable battery be version 2, since you can get more use out of it? Or is it called S1 because it's #1?
SPECTRA 9 VS SPECTRA S2 PLUS
The latest version has a “plus” in the title, but it is similar to the older version that doesn't have the Plus in the title. Spectra S1 Plus and S2 Plus pumps offer the same core functionality, however the Spectra S1 Plus has a built in rechargeable battery, while the S2 needs to be plugged in. What Are The Differences In Spectra vs Medela Breastpumps? Spectra pumps are manufactured by Uzin Medicare in Korea, which has been developing breast pumps, baby bottles, and related breastfeeding items for the past 20 years.
The human milk division supports moms and breastfeeding, primarily through products and education.
Medela is a Swiss medical device company established in 1961 with two main divisions, human milk and medical vacuum technology. Ĭhoosing a great pump largely comes down to finding the battle between Spectra vs Medela breast pumps. Having a great pump was key, so I spent alot of time testing pumps. I spent 9 months exclusive pumping (6-8x a day for the first few months) and kept pumping after that. Breast pumps work by drawing the nipples into the flanges and stimulating the letdown.
