The Spectra S2 Plus Hospital Strength Breast Pump is often recommended for new mothers, and understanding its benefits can make your breastfeeding journey smoother. Whether you’re delivering at San Jose Hospital or pumping at home, this guide provides valuable insights into maximizing your pumping experience with the Spectra S2 Plus.
Understanding the Spectra S2 Plus
The Spectra S2 Plus is a closed-system pump known for its powerful suction, mimicking a baby’s natural nursing rhythm. This helps stimulate milk production and efficiently empty the breasts. It’s also relatively quiet, making it discreet for use in various settings. Its portability, with a built-in nightlight and adjustable suction levels, allows for personalized comfort and control. This makes the Spectra S2 Plus a popular choice among breastfeeding mothers.
Why Choose Hospital Strength?
Hospital strength breast pumps, like the Spectra S2 Plus, offer a higher level of suction and cycling speed than personal-use pumps. This increased power is especially beneficial in establishing milk supply in the early postpartum period, particularly for mothers who may experience difficulties with milk production or have had a C-section delivery.
