Breast pumps

I’m 34 weeks and having a hard time deciding between the Spectra S1 or Medela Pump In Style for my breast pump this time around. With my second son I mostly just breastfed and I used the Medela PISA and it was okay but I had supply issues the whole time. Any moms have any opinions on good breast pumps and what worked best for them? TIA!

    The spectra has significantly more options than the PISA and although I haven't used the PISA, I EPd with my first and was part of an exclusive pumping group on fb and a lot of the moms that initially purchased a PISA went back and bought a Spectra afterwards

    My first was born 8 weeks early, so I used the Medela Symphony in the hospital and NICU and got a PISA while there as well. While researching prior to birth, I really wanted to get a Spectra because of all the great reviews I read. I ended up being gifted an S2 also. I actually had trouble with the Spectra. I don't know if my body was just used to the Medela stimulation at that point or what, but the Spectra never ended up working for me and I stuck with the PISA. That said, I didn't respond super well to the PISA after time, but it did work earlier on. I did love the closed system idea of the Spectra and I actually used the duckbill values to replace my PISA membranes because they were just irritating. If you didn't love the PISA in the past, then I would maybe give the Spectra a try. Just expect it to be different. And make sure you get the right size flanges for your body. Good luck!

    I loved my Freemie Liberty. I pumped discreetly and was able to produce a lot of milk, it has hospital grade suction if needed. Everyone was amazed I was pumping because I wasn't hooked up to anything.
