![]() If you are just starting your journey into Breast Pump Land and you’ve somehow the Medela Galaxy, the Spectra S1 is definitely a model to start investigating. But with this much milk, who needs those? Sure, the S1 doesn’t have an app or 24/7 access to a lactation consultant. ![]() If you opt for the model without the rechargeable battery, the S2 is barely over $100 (but seriously, don't do that). But to top it off, at $160, it's about half the price of the comparable Medela Sonata. That alone would make the purchase of a new pump worth it. I could express as much milk in four or five minutes as I could in ten minutes with a Medela pump. After experimenting with different cycle speeds for letdown and expression, I found that I was able to speed up production. Being able to tinker with the cycle length and vacuum speed means that you can make the smallest changes for your own comfort. No pump will ever feel like a nursing baby, but the S1 comes closer than most.

As a mom, this is an amazing way to save yourself some time and energy. More practically speaking, it also means that you don’t have to take apart your pump to clean and sterilize the pump face and tubing. The backflow protector ensures that your baby’s milk will be bacteria-free. But it’s a distinct enough possibility that Medela instructs users to clean the pump face and tubing to deter milk from getting into the pump and molding.) (Nota bene: I’ve pumped with a Medela pump for three years and never had milk go up in the tube. It is a small, flexible, white, rubber membrane that prevents milk from accidentally backing up in the tube. In the S1, this barrier is a backflow protector in the pump flange. An open system doesn’t have a barrier between the pump mechanism and the milk collection system, while a closed system does. It does not store any personal data.The main difference between the Spectra pumps and the workhorse Medela Pump in Style Advanced is that the Spectra pumps have a closed system, versus an open system.
