Spectra S2 or Medela?

Question

Just curious about experiences with both of these. I had an Ameda with my son and hated it. At the time, I wanted Medela but it wasn’t available. Now the S2 peaks my interest due to the closed tubing system. I ordered that one but have until October to change my order.  My plan is to mainly BF on leave but I’ll pump 3 times a day once back at work. Thoughts??

Answer

Spectra! Have read way better things about it and it’s a closed system. I would never get an open system. Spectra is also compatible with the freemie closed cups so you don’t have to walk around with that horrifying milk bottle mess.

Answer

I’m going with spectra this go around. I had medela with my now 5 year old. Loved it. I still have it in the garage lol. 
They gave me an ameda after I had him and it was terrible!

Answer

Definitely the spectra. Much more gentle than other pumps. I loved my s1 and s9. I exclusively pumped with my first and the hospital grade s1 helped keep my supply up and the s9 was great for on the go.

Answer

Following! I ordered the Spectra S9

Answer

Great that’s what I got from my insurance an Ameda.

Answer

I had a Medela last year. It did the job. I mostly breastfed and just pumped once a day usually. But overall I think I just don’t like pumping. I’m definitely getting a haaka this time so hopefully I won’t need to pump much.

Answer

I used a Medela my first time around but I’m getting a Spectra for this one. I’ve heard it’s a lot quieter and more gentle. It’s also a closed system- supposedly you aren’t supposed to use Medela baby to baby.

Answer

Thanks everyone. There are certain parts about the Medela I like better- like the cooler and the carrying case as, the portability of it. I do like the closed system though. I might ask my OB opinion next week to see if that sways me. I wish I could get both lol

Answer

I had the lightweight medela. No issues.

Answer

I had a medela with my first 2 but thinking I might get spectra this time.  I’ve heard good things about it.  Not that there’s anything wrong with medela either.  From mine and others opinions, they both do the job and haven’t heard many complaints.  My only complaints (which are minor) is the second medela, vs the first, didn’t have a handle on it to carry and for some reason the tubes came off very easily (could’ve been just mine).
