SPECTRA S2 PORTABLE
First was an s2 that served me well and didn’t miss a beat over 2 babies, second was an s9 I bought as a portable option, and leaving me with my current s1 that I purchased last year in anticipation for my new baby who was born in November 2021. This is the THIRD spectra pump I’ve bought in the last 6 years. Spectra this is not good enough! Do something about it! There should be an option to select shield sizes (or at the very least information) when buying a pump. It is completely irresponsible that Spectra send out as a standard a very large flange size as they are literally damaging peoples bodies, impacting babies from getting breastmilk (as I'm sure other mothers would stop because of it) and impacting on new mothers mental health. basically said they are just the distributor and have past the feedback onto spectra but they aren't listening and I'd have to buy the smaller size shields. I dealt with, who was incredibly rude and had zero empathy for my experience. So I went on the spectra website and clicked the link to the pumpables measuring tool which states the most common size is 17mm yet the standard spectra send is 24 mm.very illogical.Ĭlearly upset by this, I emailed spectra to understand why. Read more was pumping in front of a friend who informed me that the shields were too big. I was not aware there was different size shields and it is not obvious when buying a spectra pump. I thought this was normal as I didn't know any different. I was having so much trouble pumping- not much milk and it was hurting. I brought a spectra S1 pump which as a standard comes with 24mm shields. I am extremely disappointed with Spectra and with the 'customer service' I have experienced.Īs a first time mum, it can be very overwhelming so much to learn, lack of sleep and heightened emotions- and Spectra have only added to this!
