What about the spectra gold portable

[@CoffeeSandwich]

SG for the win! I had to get mine shipped to me in Canada from Korea. All we have are crappy medelas

[@genuinelactation]

The Spectra Synergy Gold is a great pump and certainly beats Medela!

[@gracemuhimpundu4523]

Thanks a million for your reviews!! They are so informative! Quick question on the Synergy Gold - it says on the website it is rechargeable. Is that not the case? Or have they upgraded it? Not sure. Thanks!

[@genuinelactation]

The rechargeable one is the portable one- not the large circular one. I wish the large one had a battery!

[@MelissaCataldo-gx9gs]

Does the Medela cup also get great suction with spectra pumps?

[@ktsai822]

Do they both use the same parts?

[@genuinelactation]

Yep!

[@ckdancer98]

Thank you for all these videos! Can you do one on the Unimom Opera? I just received mine but will need to investigate which wearable cups pair well and I’ll be purchasing a portable or wearable pump too

[@genuinelactation]

Its upcoming but I am testing my newest model to confirm no changes were made!

[@MelissaCataldo-gx9gs]

Also which inserts pair well with the plastic flanges if you don’t want to compromise suction power? Also I do not have elastic nipples.

[@genuinelactation]

Lactation hub and willow seem to maintain suction as best as can be eith inserts due to their design but we can almost always get better hard plastic setups for this!

[@melissacohen2441]

Thank you!!!

[@erinwestermayer939]

I caught part of what was mentioned with vibration. I had quite a problem with raynauds phenomenon with my first kiddo. Is vibration good or bad for this?

[@genuinelactation]

Typically not great for raynauds- I tend to recommend avoiding it to help eliminate issues

[@MelissaCataldo-gx9gs]

Which collection cup do you recommend with the synergy gold? I do well with the regular plastic flanges as well as silicone. For me I feel that I need a stronger suction from a collection cup than a standard flange. I am wondering if Cara cups or zomee or baby Buddha cups will give me the highest suction with the spectra plug in pumps.

[@genuinelactation]

Cara cups are the hands down best with Spectra! Silicone flange cups will reduce suction which it sounds like you don’t want

[@melissacohen2441]

Thank you can’t wait for my 36 week consultation with you!!

[@KB-qh6tv]

You mentioned some parents need more speed due to nerve damage. What are some indications of nerve damage?

[@genuinelactation]

Typicall a history or injury or surgery to the breast, chest or spine.

[@KB-qh6tv]

@@genuinelactation I see, is it possible for some individuals to not respond to a breast pump at all? With no known issues

[@genuinelactation]

@@KB-qh6tvit’s not common but it is possible. Most mom's we can find something that works though!

[@shaziaabdeen3169]

Is spectra s2 loud?

[@genuinelactation]

Not prohibitively loud but also not quiet
