Spectra vs Manual Pump

Jade

I’m 8 weeks PP with baby #2. I have a Spectra S2 and a Lansinoh manual pump. I can empty a breast with the manual pump in about 10-15 minutes, but my Spectra takes like 40 mins!!! Any idea why? Are my settings off? I’ll need to use the Spectra when I go back to work in a few weeks since it’s hands free, but I can’t spend that much time pumping. I’ll use the let down mode for like 2 mins, the move to a 40/10 setting. I see the milk coming out, it’s just so slow!
