Got Spectra S2 for second kiddo born a month ago and it's terrific! I am breastfeeding full-time but can also pump up to 3-4 ounces in less than 10 min in between feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2283579 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:32:56 +0000 avivoca 2283579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking into Spectra or Hygeia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2283493 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 19:16:26 +0000 Ms. RV 2283493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: They still make it. I just bought one less than a month ago. There was a model change though but it was really insignificant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282830 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 10:04:42 +0000 AmandaB8 2282830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spectra!! I had a Hygeia last time though, and it was a powerhouse. I EPed with it for 11 months - it rocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282762 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:20:42 +0000 Adira 2282762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I LOVED my Phillips Avent. It was sooooooooooo much more comfortable to use than my Medela PISA and I loved that it was a closed system. I was so sad when the motor died on me! :( Mine was the Twin Electric though, which I hear they don't make anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282748 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 09:14:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2282748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: That's so weird, I never had that problem! </p> <p>Next time I'm going for Spectra as long as insurance covers it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282603 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 08:15:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 2282603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: there is a local store that sells Hygeia parts around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282397 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:23:25 +0000 birdofafeather 2282397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked my hygeia and looking at getting a spectra with this new babe as a backup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282299 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:48:39 +0000 raintreebee 2282299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spectra S2/S1 is supposed to be amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282262 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:29:47 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 2282262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I could, technically, but since I've used it every day for the past 2.5 years, the battery on it is pretty shot, and I need all new accessories again. Totally doable, but my insurance just finally started giving free pumps, so I took them up on it and got the Medela (only one offered), since it comes with all the accessories and all that jazz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282248 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:22:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2282248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the ameda but I've just been using my freestyle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282246 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:21:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2282246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Rabbit: why can't you use the hygeia again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282194 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:50:36 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 2282194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a Hygeia for my first baby, and I used it up until just a few weeks ago. I really, really liked it, but the only annoying part is that you have to order parts for it online (unless you're lucky and a store near you carries them). I just always wished that I could go to Target and pick stuff up for it. It was great, though. I now have a Medela PISA (thanks, insurance), and it's taking me some getting used to :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282176 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:42:55 +0000 Ms. RV 2282176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Philips Avent. I've only used it for two weeks (mostly to build supply) and I have no complaints. The flanges are comfy, and the system is easy enough to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-closed-pump#post-2282119 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:10:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2282119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nearing the end of my pumping journey with DD2. But God I am not a fan of the Medela PISA! I'm on my fourth set of tubes because milk Keeps going into the tubes while I'm pumping. My Ameda the first time didn't seem to have the same power as the Medela but at least everything stayed clean and the parts were easy to clean.</p> <p>What closed system did you use or are hoping to use next time? </p>
