I'm really glad I found this video... today is day 2 of me using this Spectra S2 pump (it's my work pump) because at home I use the Medela Freestyle Flex. I was using the pump backwards because I just read the manual and it just says to hit the wave button... so I used it backwards. The Medela Freestyle Flex does the whole letdown setting thing by itself. With that said, I do like the Spectra S2 pump because I feel like it empties me well (even using it backwards! lol)

No sleep and waiting on our milk supply to come in while our little girl sings to the neighbors at a Whitney Houston pitch from 9PM till 4 AM. The pizza guy doesn’t want to deliver to us anymore because I’ve asked him to take our trash out every time he delivers. 😂 Needless to say we are feeling the feels but loving our new little girl and loving all of this every step of the way.

@KassiReyes
@KassiReyes 3 года назад
You may need to hit the wave like button again to get it to go below the 70 cycles. But actually, it sounds like you may be doing it correctly, so if you are still having troubles, I would contact customer support at Spectra to see if they can help you problem solve, I have heard they are great.

@KassiReyes
@KassiReyes 3 года назад
Of course! By valves I think you are probably referring to the flange...the part that goes over your nipple? You want to chose a size that lets your nipple move freely without rubbing on the sides, it shouldn’t be so big that it allows more than a little of your areola to pull in to the chamber either. Some women need a different size for each side and that’s ok 👍🏽

When turn pump on I have set to 50 when I see milk coming is when I push the other button thats on 70 and been doing that whole time. Thanks to this video next pump I can do it right the manual made it sound like the way I was doing it was right. I've been getting about 3 to 4 oz every time I pump. Excited to see how much now that I know how to properly use it. Least I only did it wrong for a month. Probably should have watched a video right away not just read manual.

Hi! It was suggested that I use my spectra electric pump to stimulate my nipple before breastfeeding (still having to use nipple shield as I can't get baby to latch without) but not sure how or what settings to use on my spectra to achieve that as I don't really want or need milk to be pumped. Help!
@KassiReyes
@KassiReyes 2 года назад
If you are using your pump to stimulate the nipple and help evert it prior to feeding, just increase the suction to your comfort level without causing yourself pain. You will probably only be doing this for 2 minutes or less. You could also do this with a hand pump.

What is the recommended speed and level? What’s the difference between stimulation and let down?
@KassiReyes
@KassiReyes 3 года назад
Hi Marisol :) In the video I give the settings that I recommend starting with, always based on your comfort of course. The stimulation and "let down" phase is the same thing. This refers to the initial 1-2 minutes of quick gentle pumping to stimulate the milk to let down. The expression phase is a little stronger and slower and draws the milk out.

@KassiReyes
@KassiReyes 3 года назад
Cycles are how quickly the "sucks" happen, higher number equals less time between sucks or pulls from the pump. The numbers I suggested are a jumping off point, but you can play around with the cycle speed to see what gives you the best results, everyBODY is different ;)

@carissaraeee7947

How strong should the suction be during letdown? I was using the freemie, but it wasnt working for me, so I got this. But I always had the speed on high, which was the fast suckling cycle, and I had the suction at a 5 (it starts at 10 being the weakest suction) and sometimes even went down to 3. But I didn’t know if the letdown phase was supposed to be a soft suckle or strong suckle. I have such a hard time pumping, and I have to exclusively pump because my daughter won’t latch. Sometimes I get 1.5 Oz and sometimes I get 4-5 Oz. So I’m doing something wrong and I just can’t figure out what it is. I thought maybe I had my suction too strong, because my nipples would swell up. So in my mind, I thought possibly it was too strong, restricting milk flow because they were kind of swelling up. But when I do it at a softer suction, I don’t get as much milk 😭😩 I’m trying to refrain from putting her on formula. But at the rate I’m going, I may end up having to💔

Hi Carissa, The suction shouldn't ever be so strong that is causes you discomfort and the cycles should be quicker for the let down ( around 70 like I mention in the video). For the expression mode I usually recommend around 54 for the cycles (you can play around with this to see what gives you better results) and possibly a stronger suction in expression phase as tolerated without causing pain. Having a proper fitting flange is also crucial for comfort and milk extraction. Your nipple shouldn't rub on the sides of the flange and if it is too big, too much of your areola can get pulled in and not optimize milk removal. You are doing Amazingly, exclusive pumping is such hard work. If you need further help, or would like to do a virtual pumping consult, feel free to request a visit at peopleslactation.com. Good luck mama!

@@KassiReyes okay thank you! I just bought the spectra, so the one I was using didn’t have the same settings. So I think that’s where I got confused, because on the one I have- the lower the setting, the stronger the suction. But thank you for responding, I really appreciate it!

This was so helpful! Thank you :) What do the other cycles mean? What does 38 and 50 mean?

Does the machine vibrate on the table? I just got one in the mail and I think something is wrong with it. The suction is so weak and Everyone said this machine is quiet but it vibrates on the table or floor loud

I just tried the spectra pump and I like it. I had another brand pump but i was told spectra works better. I have a 4 month old and I'm trying to find ways to increase my milk supply from 2-3oz to 5-6 oz. We've been supplementing with formula since day one of her birth due to her being in the NICU. I prefer to only breastfeed but I don't seem to have enough of it during the day. Any advice?

This was so helpful thank you so much but does it need to stay plugged in ❤

Spectra S2 needs to be plugged in and Spectra S1 has a battery. Which one do you have? Thank you for watching.

FTM trying to increase my supply while we figure out latching. Do you have any recommendations about how long to pump for? I’m still getting the tiniest bit of milk after 12-14 minutes of pumping, but wonder if going for too long is bad?

The longer you pump, the more you are telling your body that you need to produce. Supply and demand. At 1st i was pumping for 15min but my daughter wouldnt eat that long and it caused me to get backed up with milk (clogged ducts) so then i started to pump for 10min which help regulate my milk and not constantly be clogged

Does it matter if you place the duckbill valve facing other directions?

Good morning Stephanie. Nope! The duckbill can face any direction. Welcome to the community :) let me know if you have any other questions about the pump

Can i sterilize my parts of the pump by placing it in water that was boiled? Or is that not safe? Or can i wash with warm soapy water?

Yes and yes. Wash with warm soapy water, sterilize with boiling water as needed.
