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! I recommend that you sing up for Milkology’s The Ultimate Exclusive Pumping Class so you canhave the information you need at your fingertips at all times!When you first begin pumping for your newborn, your breasts are most likely unfamiliar with the feeling of a mechanical pump. With that in mind, your breast tissue and nipples will probably be more sensitive to begin with. Every woman’s body is different; therefore, your suction strength while pumping on your Spectra pump will also vary. To adjust the suction, press the + and – buttons.

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.

Spectra offers a wide cycle range, from 38 to 54 cycles per minute in Expression mode and 70 cycles per minute in Massage mode. Breastfeeding mothers can adjust these settings according to their comfort and milk flow. The position you use while pumping can significantly affect the milk yield and how comfortable the experience is. Finding the right position for you can take some experimentation. Some women find that sitting upright works best, while others prefer to lean forward slightly. You may have to try different positions to find the best one. We recommend that you replace the accessories every three months. However, this duration may vary depending on your environment and frequency of use.

Start at a lower suction strength and gradually increase it until you find the best fit for your body. Ideally, the suction should be strong enough to pump milk but not strong enough to hurt. Use a Pumping BraPump for no more than 20 minutes at first and assess how your breast tissue feels and looks afterwards to ensure no damage is taking place. Proper Fitting Shield: Ensure that the breast shield fits correctly. An incorrect size can decrease your milk output and cause discomfort. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all setting. Experimenting with different cycle speeds is best to find what suits you best. Don’t hesitate to reach out to the Spectra breast pump instructions manual. Adjust the Suction Strength Breast Shield: This is the part placed directly onto your breast. Its primary function is to create a seal around the nipple and areola to generate suction.
