Meet the Manufacturer: Spectra

When you’re expecting a new baby, there’s so much to think about, and one of the decisions you’ll need to make is which breast pump to purchase. With so many options on the market, it can be overwhelming. Let’s take a look at some of the factors you should consider when choosing a breast pump.

The first thing you should think about is your lifestyle. Are you often on-the-go? How often will you be away from your baby? Will you always have access to a power outlet? Spectra offers a wide range of breast pumps for many different lifestyles. If you don't want to be tied down to a wall, we recommend choosing a breast pump with a built-in battery option for on-the-go capabilities, like the S1, 9 Plus, or Synergy Gold Portable.

If you're planning to be pumping on a regular basis, Spectra is a phenomenal brand to trust. Not only do they make high quality products that withstand the test of time, they have the warranty to back it (2 years for pump and 90 days for parts and accessories)!

Spectra Breast Pumps are designed to be lightweight and portable, but one thing that Spectra Breast Pumps couldn't do was be worn discreetly. That is, until the CaraCup was invented (sold separately).

The CaraCup is the perfect accessory for anyone who needs the freedom to move while expressing breastmilk. It’s a hands-free accessory that is designed to fit Spectra Breast Pumps, allows you to move around while continuing to express milk. With the cup, you can easily express milk without anyone noticing. The cup is designed to be comfortable and secure, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping off while you’re on the move.

Spectra also offers a wide range of resources on their website, including flange sizing tools and complimentary lactation services, and helpful education on their social media platforms. When you choose Spectra, you can trust that you'll feel supported.
