I have low supply due to tubular breasts. I'm using the medela style advanced but was renting the symphony (returned as it was starting to add up in cost and felt the advanced was working about the same). Is it more worth it for me to get the spectra? Thank you!!!
Thanks a million for your reviews!! They are so informative! Quick question on the Synergy Gold - it says on the website it is rechargeable. Is that not the case? Or have they upgraded it? Not sure. Thanks!
I will be a first-time mom and I’m trying to find a pump for emergencies and to start making a list of what I will need when the baby arrives. So, for a first-time mom, instead of buying something like the Willow or Momcozy, is it better to buy something like the Spectra?
Hi! Would you recommend renting out a hospital grade pump like the Medela Symphony Breat Pump that they have at the hospitals? I know at my hospital they do give the option for that so was wondering if that would be a great option at least for the first 2-3 weeks or so to help build up milk supply while also learning how to used and getting used to using the Spectra pump? Thank you so much!
Thank you for all these videos! Can you do one on the Unimom Opera? I just received mine but will need to investigate which wearable cups pair well and I’ll be purchasing a portable or wearable pump too
Hi there I have a bit of an emergency. I just purchased the spectra S1 and I need either smaller flanges or inserts but I don't know what to purchase. I need an 18 or 16 for flange. Do you have any recommendations?
Which collection cup do you recommend with the synergy gold? I do well with the regular plastic flanges as well as silicone. For me I feel that I need a stronger suction from a collection cup than a standard flange. I am wondering if Cara cups or zomee or baby Buddha cups will give me the highest suction with the spectra plug in pumps.
Lactation hub and willow seem to maintain suction as best as can be eith inserts due to their design but we can almost always get better hard plastic setups for this!
I caught part of what was mentioned with vibration. I had quite a problem with raynauds phenomenon with my first kiddo. Is vibration good or bad for this?
SG for the win! I had to get mine shipped to me in Canada from Korea. All we have are crappy medelas
The Spectra Synergy Gold is a great pump and certainly beats Medela!
What do you recommend for lactating adopted infants ?
Does the Medela cup also get great suction with spectra pumps?

The rechargeable one is the portable one- not the large circular one. I wish the large one had a battery!
How does the Synergy Gold compare to the Spectra Gold Portable?

What about the spectra gold portable
Would you recommend the gold for someone who has had a reduction on one side and a implant in the other?
Your videos are so helpful, thank you so much

Its upcoming but I am testing my newest model to confirm no changes were made!

There are hard plastic flanges on amazon or willow inserts at target

Cara cups are the hands down best with Spectra! Silicone flange cups will reduce suction which it sounds like you don’t want
Thank you can’t wait for my 36 week consultation with you!!
Also which inserts pair well with the plastic flanges if you don’t want to compromise suction power? Also I do not have elastic nipples.

Typically not great for raynauds- I tend to recommend avoiding it to help eliminate issues
Do they both use the same parts?
Yep!
You mentioned some parents need more speed due to nerve damage. What are some indications of nerve damage?
Typicall a history or injury or surgery to the breast, chest or spine.
@@genuinelactation I see, is it possible for some individuals to not respond to a breast pump at all? With no known issues
@@KB-qh6tvit’s not common but it is possible. Most mom's we can find something that works though!
Is spectra s2 loud?
Not prohibitively loud but also not quiet
