Which Spectra breast pump is right for me?

Here’s what you need to know about the Spectra S1, S2, and S9 breast pumps:

Choosing a breast pump can be overwhelming. We get it. There are so many options! Which is great, but you’ve got a million other life decisions to make right now, and while your best friend, sister, and co-worker all have a breast pump recommendation, that doesn’t make it any easier to choose. Not to mention, all three recommendations are different

Our team at Milk N Mamas understands this. We spend much of our day helping moms-to-be select the best breast pump for their lifestyle. The Spectra brand is one of our favorites because it matches high quality with high function. So let’s break down the ins and outs of the Spectra line.
