Re: Spectra pumps
We started introducing bottles, so usually I put the milk from one breast into her bottle of choice for the day and then either freeze the other side or add it to the milk from the previous pump and freeze.
Really dislike that that half the pump adaptors for bottles that I have do not fit on the Spectra pump. But, I have a funnel. For now I pump into the bottles that came with the Spectra and then pour the milk into whichever bag/bottle I have lined up.
I got the freemie Spectra kit for when I go back to work but haven’t tried it yet.
Which storage bag are you using? I find that the Medela bags are SO off.
We can pump directly into the Avent bottles without an adapter. I also find it easier to read the output on those bottles than on the Spectra bottle.
I bought a manual Medela pump which came with a bunch of bottles. I got these adapters (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EUNA96W?colid=2Y0MBT6F0P3AA&coliid=I2PG1NB1BK54K3&ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_image_link) which allow me to pump into the Medela bottles.
I pump about 3-4 times a days. Now the LO is 9 weeks old, I usually only have to pump about 6-8 minutes per side. I get the most milk around 100am. We try to coordinate so DH gives LO a bottle at that time.
I leave the pump at 54 and the vacuum at 4. I sometimes need to reduce the vacuum though.

i somewhat gave up on pumping direct into the type of bottle my daughter likes. I now just pump into the Spectra bottles and then use a funnel to pour the milk into storage bags or bottles, depending on my need.
I pump into the spectra bottles and then just pour in the the ones we feed with. I also mix cold milk since I EP and keep a supply from the day in the fridge at all times. Since I get 7-11oz each session and he’s only eating 3, I keep larger bottles in the fridge to hold my surplus, then each morning i will freeze the previous days stash and start over

But seriously, the quality difference is so great i’m Strongly considering shelling out to buy myself a second Spectra to keep at home I like it that much.
