advantage of dual motors so you can control the suction on each side independently. It’s also half the weight of our top pick (just 1.5 pounds, versus 3.3 for the Spectra S1 Plus) and much more compact and portable. The color scheme—white with gold trim—makes this pump feel far more sophisticated than the baby blue and pink used on the S1 Plus and S2 Plus. At close to twice the price, though, this model commands a big premium for those particular benefits.</p><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad a9af8aa7 d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Best for</h4><div id="callout-intro-10-4" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="62845"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="62845"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="62845"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="62845" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/62845/BabyBuddha-Portable-Breast-Pump-2-0-_20240625-190342_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump 2.0 " data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="10" data-pid="62845" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump 2.0 </a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Best for hands-free pumping" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="62845" data-gtm-context="inline">Best for hands-free pumping</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This compact pump provides superior comfort while maintaining efficient extraction, especially when compared to the original 1.0 model.</p><div class="dded66b7"><div data-scp="removed"><h4 class="efa3259d">Buying Options</h4><div class="b279b202 product-pricebox-0" data-source-id-order="0" data-country-code="US"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" class="b50e01ee" data-gtm-element="callout_buy_button_impression" data-link-type="button" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="10" data-pid="62845" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194724?merchant=Amazon" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-gtm-context="inline" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_button"><span>$250</span> from <span>Amazon</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="b069223e" data-scp="removed"></div></div><p>The powerful and effective suction of the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56154/191102/4/165086/?merchant=Amazon" rel="sponsored noopener" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56154/191102/4/165086/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="reviewIntro" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="56154" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56154/191102/4/165086/?merchant=Amazon">BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump</a> has earned it a devoted following among exclusive pumpers. Compared with the Spectra S1 Plus, the original BabyBuddha pump had a longer, more intense pull pattern in its expression mode—this suction was too strong for many people. So, in May 2024, BabyBuddha introduced the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194723/?merchant=Amazon" rel="sponsored noopener" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="10" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194723/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="reviewIntro" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="62845" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/62845/203050/4/194723/?merchant=Amazon">BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump 2.0</a>. This pump has the same unique pull patterns (and sleek, lightweight design), but it now features a new “Soft Stimulation Mode” with six settings, offering a slightly lower suction range. Because of these updates, our tester said it’s her favorite pump so far—comfortable, improves supply, portable, and relatively quiet. Though the BabyBuddha pump is more portable than our other picks in this guide, the 1-pound BabyBuddha is not a true wearable pump since it requires the use of a pumping bra to hold its traditionally shaped flanges in place, while its control unit and tubing hang from the neck via a lanyard. See our guide to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wearable-breast-pumps/">best wearable breast pumps</a> to explore true wearable options.</p><div class="ebb615ab

I also polled people in my own network for their breast pump picks and pans, read hundreds of online reviews and forum posts, and gathered feedback from exclusive-pumping groups (my wife was an exclusive pumper when our first child was born in 2018).</p><p>I wrote this guide after I gave birth to our second child in July 2022. I combined breastfeeding and pumping so that my wife and I could share feeds, which gave me plenty of time with each of the pumps in this guide. I pumped in my home office, at the breakfast table, in the car, on the bus, in an RV—I even pumped at the crowded Austin City Limits Music Festival, right up near the stage during Benee’s set.</p><p>I am also the author of Wirecutter’s guides to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-co-sleepers/">bassinets and co-sleepers</a> (as well as a closer look at the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/snoo-smart-sleeper-what-to-know/">Snoo</a>), <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-kids-bike-seats/">kids bike seats</a>, and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/15-lgbtq-books-for-kids-and-teens/">LGBTQ books</a> for kids and teens.</p><p>This guide builds on the work of science journalist <a href="https://www.katiepeek.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Katie Peek</a>, who interviewed half a dozen lactation consultants and other breastfeeding experts and tested pumps with a small panel of testers in 2017 and 2018. Katie was an exclusive pumper with her first child; he was born with a cleft palate, so he couldn’t produce the suction necessary to breastfeed directly. Katie calculated that she pumped a total of 14,000 ounces—more than 100 gallons—over his first 13 months. Her second baby, whom she breastfed directly and by bottle, was 5 months old when she started her work for this guide.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="who-this-is-for"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="who-this-is-for-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Who this is for" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="2">Who this is for</h2><div id="who-this-is-for-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="who-this-is-for" aria-hidden="false"><p>Breast pumps are useful tools for parents who want to bottle their milk for any number of reasons, including latching issues, separation from the baby due to work, or a desire to share feeding duties more equally with a spouse or partner. Pumps can also help relieve and soften engorged breasts, and they can assist in maintaining a milk supply between breastfeeds or while the parent is away from the baby.</p><p>Depending on your situation, you may need one or more of several types of breast pumps.</p><p><strong>If you anticipate pumping only occasionally, you might try a manual pump. </strong>A manual pump can be useful in the early postpartum period, when many people experience engorgement. When the body first begins making milk, it often overshoots its target—making breasts large, sore, and hard. Engorgement can be painful, and latching a new baby to an engorged breast can be tricky, too. A manual pump can relieve pain, soften the breast, and make it a little easier for the baby to latch.</p><p>Later, even if a double electric pump enters the picture, a manual pump is often still useful tossed in a handbag or suitcase as a just-in-case travel companion. Compared with an electric model, a manual pump is quieter and easier to control, and it can be more efficient if you need to pump for short sessions (such as on a short work break) because it requires less setup and cleanup.</p><p>A manual pump can also coax the last ounces of milk from a breast that the baby doesn’t fully empty—making it helpful for clearing <a href="https://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mother/mastitis/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">clogged ducts and avoiding mastitis</a> (when a clog in a milk duct becomes infected).</p><p><strong>If you anticipate sitting down to pump regularly, you might try a standard electric pump.</strong> Electric pumps are generally more efficient than manual pumps and are useful after your milk supply is established and you begin to pump at regular intervals. Paired with a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-pumping-bra/">dedicated pumping bra</a>, an electric model allows you to pump hands-free, so you can do other things.</p><p>Some people may need something more than the moderately priced double electric models we cover in this guide. If the baby can’t latch well or if milk supply has been difficult to establish, you may be a candidate to rent a hospital-grade or “multiuser” pump such as the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21795/119003/4/165087/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21795/119003/4/165087/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_who-this-is-for" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="21795" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21795/119003/4/165087/?merchant=Amazon">Medela Symphony</a> or <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56548/191785/4/165088/?merchant=Ameda" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Ameda" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56548/191785/4/165088/?merchant=Ameda" data-vars-store="Ameda" data-gtm-context="chapter_who-this-is-for" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Ameda" data-pid="56548" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56548/191785/4/165088/?merchant=Ameda">Ameda Platinum</a>.</p><p><strong>If you anticipate pumping while moving around your house, you might try a portable electric pump. </strong>Some pumps provide the functionality and efficiency of a standard electric pump but with more portability. These pumps have USB-rechargeable batteries and often come with a lanyard so that you can dangle the pump’s compact motor around your neck while you use it and thus move around more freely. The motors don’t always have the same power or longevity as those of a standard electric pump, though.</p><p>You’ll find significant overlap between this group of pumps and standard electric pumps—some of the latter kind, such as the <a href="#upgrade-pick-spectra-sg-portable">Spectra SG Portable</a>, are designated by their makers as “portable” pumps simply because they’re lightweight.</p><p><strong>If you anticipate pumping on a commute or while working on your feet, you might try a wearable electric pump.</strong> Wearable pumps, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wearable-breast-pumps/">which we review in a separate guide</a>, are discreet, hands-free pumps that are generally smaller and quieter than traditional electric models. They require little setup, don’t have dangling tubes, and can be worn inside a regular bra. But they tend to be more expensive than standard electric pumps, and we’ve found less consistency in terms of how much different people like different models.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-4"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="how-we-picked-and-tested"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="how-we-picked-and-tested-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="How we picked and tested" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="3">How we picked and tested</h2><div id="how-we-picked-and-tested-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="how-we-picked-and-tested" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_322495" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Four breast pumps we tested for this review sitting side by side on a table." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-5159.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-322495"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> <!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michelle McSwain</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>Based on our research, we determined that a breast pump worth recommending must have the following attributes and features:</p><p><strong>Efficient operation: </strong>The most important function of a breast pump is to pull milk out of the breast efficiently. We identified the models that were most effective at this task within a 15-minute pumping session. We also favored pumps that were reasonably comfortable to use, with few to no reports of painful pumping sessions.</p><p><strong>Adjustability: </strong>In electric breast pumps, adjustability involves two factors, namely suction strength (how hard the pump pulls at the nipple) and frequency (how fast it pulls). Some breast pumps allow you to control the two independently; however, most models include both in a single control.</p><p><strong>Stimulation and expression modes: </strong>Most electric breast pumps have two settings, a stimulation mode and an expression mode. The stimulation mode (sometimes called “bacon mode” due to the wavy-lines symbol on its button) mimics the way a baby begins to nurse, with a short, fast sucking pattern. The expression mode (or “letdown” mode, often represented by a droplet symbol) is the main setting for extracting milk and has a longer, more adjustable suction.</p><p><strong>Easy maintenance: </strong>Electric pumps have numerous parts, and most require you to take them apart and clean them multiple times per day. After months of constantly disassembling and scrubbing parts—and even sometimes replacing them—we’ve come to appreciate pumps that have simpler, more streamlined designs that are easy to clean and maintain.</p><p><strong>Low volume: </strong>Pumping at work or in public settings is much more comfortable when you’re using a low-volume pump that doesn’t sound like industrial machinery.</p><p><strong>Reasonable price: </strong>In many cases, insurance covers all or part of the cost of a pump (plus a few visits with a lactation consultant). But because you may need to pay out of pocket, we still consider price. We expect more from the highest-priced pumps, and we try to identify the best-performing pumps available for less.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_322497" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A woman using our pick for best breast pump, the Spectra S1 Plus, while sitting on a couch reading a book." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/07/breastpumps-2048px-4847.jpeg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-322497"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Paired with a dedicated pumping bra, standard electric pumps allow you to pump hands-free, so you can do other things at the same time.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michelle McSwain</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>As part of our original reporting for this guide, three lactating testers compared eight breast pumps. In 2022, I researched 31 pumps—the same models we first tested as well as new pumps introduced since our original testing.</p><p>I then spent several months testing 13 pumps during the summer and fall of 2022, and I recruited my neighbor—a labor and delivery nurse, an experienced pumper, and fellow parent to a July 2022 baby—to provide additional testing feedback. Typically I used each pump for about a week to allow my body time to adjust to its flange style and suction pattern, but I also frequently returned to my favorites out of convenience.</p><p>For each pump, I began by unpacking and noting all the parts and accessories, such as carry bags, freezer storage pouches, and extra flanges. I then sanitized all the pump parts in the microwave (using <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56561/191812/4/165089/?merchant=Walmart" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Walmart" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56561/191812/4/165089/?merchant=Walmart" data-vars-store="Walmart" data-gtm-context="chapter_how-we-picked-and-tested" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Walmart" data-pid="56561" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56561/191812/4/165089/?merchant=Walmart">Munchkin Jumbo Microwavable Sterilizer Bags</a> or <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56550/191787/4/165090/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56550/191787/4/165090/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_how-we-picked-and-tested" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="56550" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56550/191787/4/165090/?merchant=Amazon">Medela Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags</a>), and I washed and dried everything, noting how easy and time-consuming each pump was to clean. From there, I created a schedule for pump testing—and I took notes throughout.</p><p>For each pumping session, I set a timer for 15 minutes and then assessed how much milk was produced. Because I found my supply to be too erratic for me to draw quantifiable conclusions about each pump’s production total, I relied on description and note-taking to track how effective each pump was at emptying a breast.

after a second round of testing in 2022 and 2023, we remain confident that it’s the best overall option if you’re mostly planning to sit in one spot during pumping sessions.</p><p>In our surveys of pump users and on online forums, Spectra’s pump is consistently favored over double electric pumps from Medela and other brands. In my testing, I also found the Spectra pump to be superior—it was easier to use, easier to clean, and more efficient in extracting milk than any of the Medela pumps I tested.</p><p><strong>It has highly customizable suction but is still easy to use. </strong>The Spectra S1 Plus comes with a basic set of parts and controls, so the learning curve is almost nonexistent. Once you’ve plugged it into the wall or charged it, you can turn it on and cycle through 12 suction strengths and six suction frequencies. This model gives you more customization than any other pump we tested, as it’s the only pump that allows you to control the pumping speed independently of the suction strength. Note, though, that the frequency and suction strength are the same on both sides.</p><p><strong>It’s quieter than other electric pumps.</strong> The Spectra S1 Plus emits a rhythmic whirring that’s more of a comforting sound in comparison with that of most other pumps. We measured it at 33 dB from a distance of 3 feet.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_320890" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A closeup of the digital screen and control buttons on the Spectra S1 Plus." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-00853.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-320890"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> Simple, intuitive controls allow you to control the suction frequency (“cycle”) and the suction strength (“vacuum”) separately, so you can customize the suck to more exactly mimic the feeling of feeding your baby directly.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Marki Williams</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>It’s durable, and it has a convenient handle and button light.</strong> Weighing about 3 pounds, the S1 Plus is neither particularly light nor compact, but it’s still easy to carry from room to room thanks to its carry handle—just don’t expect it to slot easily into a suitcase. It’s also especially sturdy-feeling and durable: At one point I knocked the pump over in the night, and it wasn’t noticeably affected after hitting the wood floor. A light-up button on the controls lets you see what you’re doing in the middle of the night without waking up your baby or anyone else.</p><p><strong>If you don’t mind staying plugged in, you can save money with the Spectra S2 Plus.</strong> Many insurance plans cover the Spectra S1 Plus. But if you’re looking for a less-expensive option, the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21779/118903/4/64314/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="1" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21779/118903/4/64314/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_top-pick-spectra-s1-plus-and-s2-plus" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="21779" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/21779/118903/4/64314/?merchant=Amazon">Spectra S2 Plus</a> offers nearly all the functionality of the S1 Plus—except portability—in a cheaper package. You have to plug the S2 Plus into the wall in order to use it, but if you plan to pump in one location, such as an office lactation room or home pumping station, that may not be a problem for you.</p><p><strong>It’s notably simple to clean. </strong>Another highlight of the Spectra pump is how easy it is to manage and clean the parts. When you’re finished pumping, you have just three parts to wash: the flange, a bottle, and a duckbill valve. The other parts of the pump, including the tubes and diaphragms, are part of a closed system that doesn’t have any contact with your milk.</p><p><strong>It has four possible breast shield sizes. </strong>The pump comes with two breast shields, a 24 mm version and a 28 mm version, but <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/44311/170695/4/165092/?merchant=Spectra%20Baby" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Spectra Baby" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/44311/170695/4/165092/?merchant=Spectra%20Baby" data-vars-store="Spectra Baby" data-gtm-context="chapter_top-pick-spectra-s1-plus-and-s2-plus" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Spectra Baby" data-pid="44311" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/44311/170695/4/165092/?merchant=Spectra%20Baby">20 mm</a> and <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56655/192010/4/165093/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56655/192010/4/165093/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_top-pick-spectra-s1-plus-and-s2-plus" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="56655" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56655/192010/4/165093/?merchant=Amazon">32 mm</a> shields are also available when you order online. <a href="https://amazon.com/stores/page/8D26AEC3-3D49-403B-A5AA-92541187A572?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=YT15829" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Replacement parts</a> are available via online order or at brick-and-mortar big-box stores such as Target and Walmart.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_322501" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="Our pick for best breast pump with its built-in night-light on.

Its key advantage is that unlike the standard Spectra pump (and most other double electric pumps) it allows you to control the suction on each side independently.</p><p><strong>It has dual motors that let you better motivate a “slacker” side.</strong> Popular among exclusive pumpers, the SG Portable represents a step up from the Spectra S1 Plus and S2 Plus in that it has two separate motors. This dual-motor design lets you crank up the suction on one side, which helps if, like me, you have a “slacker” side that you need to motivate. Despite its small size, the SG Portable is efficient and powerful—in my extensive testing, I found that it emptied my breasts even faster than the standard Spectra S1 Plus did.</p><p><strong>It has a superior touchscreen.</strong> The pump has an intuitive, light-up touchscreen with just a few buttons: a stimulation/expression (massage) mode button, left and right power buttons, and buttons on each side to toggle between five different stimulation levels and 12 different expression levels. It saves your settings from the previous session, and it tracks how long you’ve been pumping on its clear LCD screen.

rel="noopener" target="_blank">BabyBuddha 2.0</a> provides superior comfort while maintaining efficient extraction, especially when compared with the original model. The first BabyBuddha, while popular among exclusive pumpers due to its extra strong suction, caused pain for some users. In contrast, the Baby Buddha 2.0, released in May 2024, features a new “Soft Stimulation Mode” with six settings, offering a slightly lower suction range of 60 to 270 mmHg, compared with the 1.0’s 60 to 290 mmHg (mmHg stands for millimeters of mercury, and it is the standard unit for measuring breast pump suction strength).</p><p>The 2.0 retains the sleek, compact, and user-friendly design of the original. The BabyBuddha hangs from a lanyard that you wear around your neck or wrist, and connects to the bottles and flanges with tubing, like a standard electric pump. This pump is a good choice for anyone who wants an efficient and budget-friendly portable pump with more suction power than you might get from a standard electric pump such as the Spectra S1 Plus or S2 Plus.</p><p><strong>It offers especially strong suction.</strong> The BabyBuddha pumps are known for their strong suction, and now with the 2.0’s lower range of stimulation strength modes, this pump can appeal to new and experienced pumpers.. Users of both the original Baby Buddha and the 2.0 have found that once they adjusted to its somewhat stronger pull, they were able to get more milk from these pumps than from any other, which is what makes it so esteemed among exclusive pumpers.</p><p><strong>It relies on a unique pulling pattern.</strong> One of the BabyBuddha pump’s standout qualities is that it has a distinctive pattern to its suction, consisting of a series of little tugs followed by one long, hard pull. There is a slight difference in the pulling speeds between the original and the 2.0. The long pull is not quite as strong in the newer version, while the short pull is a little stronger on some settings. Our tester found that after she found the most comfortable setting, she was able to extract more milk per session than any other pump, increasing her daily supply from around 29 oz with the Spectra to approximately 33 oz with the Baby Buddha 2.0, even with shorter sessions.</p><div class="f669362e"><div class="ce43b2db fb2675ba" data-testid="gallery-wrapper"><article class="d63cac99"

expression modes that you toggle through by using a little trackball. You can’t control the suction speed and suction strength separately as you can on the Spectra S1 Plus, though. If you want to alternate which side you’re pumping on or change from pumping on both sides to just one, you can quickly do so using a switch on the tubing.</p><p><strong>It’s portable, but it requires a pumping bra.</strong> The BabyBuddha isn’t a full wearable pump—it has too many dangling tubes to qualify, and unlike the pumps we recommend in our separate <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-wearable-breast-pumps/">guide to wearable breast pumps</a>, you have to wear it with a pumping bra to hold it in place. But at less than a pound, it’s lightweight and compact enough to wear while you’re moving around the house, and you can easily travel with it by storing all the pump parts in the included drawstring backpack.</p><p><strong>It requires more effort to clean.</strong> After pumping, the BabyBuddha model has five parts that need washing, two more than the Spectra pumps.</p><p><strong>It includes more parts and add-ons.</strong> The package comes with two bottles, two bottle stands, two 24 mm flanges, flange covers, tubing, and the central pumping unit, which can recharge via USB. It also includes flange cushions, which are designed to be more comfortable against your skin than bare flanges.</p><p>The pump’s limited warranty covers manufacturer defects for the original owner for two years or 600 hours of use, whichever comes first.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><p>The BabyBuddha 2.0 pump isn’t as customizable as other pumps we tested. This pump doesn’t have an app, and the battery indicator lacks a percentage display. Also, when you turn the pump off and then on again, it resets to factory settings, or lowest suction strength. We’ve heard this is both a pro (easy to pump right where you left off) and a con (getting hit with a high suction right away can be startling).</p><p>The BabyBuddha is not the quietest pump (at 45 to 50 dB, it’s louder than all of our other electric pump picks), but it wasn’t the loudest model we tested, either.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

That’s at least partly due to a couple of design advantages that this model has over other manual pumps.</p><p><strong>It has a comfortable, swiveling handle.</strong> The Harmony pump’s swiveling handle allows you to adjust your grip to whichever hand position feels best, which makes it more comfortable to use over longer or more frequent pumping sessions. When you swivel the handle a full 180 degrees, you move the pump into stimulation mode. There, pumping with the smaller side of the handle, you can more easily create the quicker, shallower strokes that trigger a milk letdown.</p><p><strong>It offers a smooth squeeze. </strong>Because the handle’s action is smooth, you can modulate the suction strength just by squeezing more or less. A lactation consultant we interviewed emphasized that a manual pump should be easy to squeeze only halfway to keep the suction comfortable and effective; the Medela Harmony was her pick in that regard.</p><figure id="attachment_15879" class="caption alignnone"><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="gif" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/breastpumps-modela.gif"></div><div style="padding-top:56.19047619047619%" class="dec011b9" data-testid="video-wrapper"><div class="bffeebde"><div></div></div></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The swiveling handle reduces hand discomfort by allowing you to alter your squeezing angle.<!-- --> <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Video: Michelle McSwain</span></figcaption></figure><p><strong>A thoughtfully designed divot and bumpers improve the experience.</strong> A small divot just below the breast shield helps to make the pump comfortable and intuitive to grip.

simple—and satisfying.</strong> The Haakaa pump works by the simplest possible suction: You squeeze the bell-shaped collection vessel, position the shield over the nipple, and then release the base. Many people find that the lightweight silicone pump holds itself in place, hands-free. The milk collects in the bell below, and then you can pour it into another container.</p><p><strong>Lactation consultants recommend it.</strong> The <a href="https://www.haakaa.co.nz/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">New Zealand–based Haakaa</a> first sold this pump in 2016, and it gained devotees quickly. Lactation experts we consulted went out of their way to mention it. “One of my clients <em>loves</em> this thing,” said Angela Horman, a lactation consultant at <a href="https://www.baltimorebreastfeeds.com/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Baltimore Breastfeeds</a>. One <a href="https://amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R20D03P7149W8P/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=YT15829" rel="noopener" target="_blank">owner writes in an Amazon review</a> that she uses it each morning on her more productive breast while the baby nurses on the other side, and she stashes away 2 or 3 ounces a day. “It’s like, the perfect lazy pump,” she writes.</p><p><strong>It captures milk that would otherwise go to waste, and it reduces laundry.</strong> Because this silicone squeeze pump attaches while one is nursing, it can be a low-hassle way for a person who is primarily breastfeeding to build up a modest supply of extra milk. It can stop milk from leaking into clothing or onto tissues or pads, making for less waste and less mess. And it’s useful as a backup pump: I was able to use it on one breast, with an electric pump hooked up to the other, when I forgot a part while traveling and could use only one side of the electric pump.</p><p><strong>It’s dishwasher safe.</strong> The Haakaa pump consists of a single piece of silicone, and it’s simple to clean with a bottle brush or even in the dishwasher.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-7" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-7-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-7"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-7"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="other-breast-pumps-worth-considering"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="other-breast-pumps-worth-considering-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Other breast pumps worth considering" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="9">Other breast pumps worth considering</h2><div id="other-breast-pumps-worth-considering-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="other-breast-pumps-worth-considering" aria-hidden="false"><p><strong>If you like the features of the Spectra SG Portable but are happy to stay plugged in:</strong> The <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56555/191794/4/165094/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56555/191794/4/165094/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-breast-pumps-worth-considering" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="56555" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56555/191794/4/165094/?merchant=Amazon">Spectra Synergy Gold</a> is basically the same pump but larger and without the rechargeable battery.

Getting flanges of the correct size will help you more comfortably extract the most milk. Your nipple should be centered in the flange, with no part of it touching the sides when the pump is off; once you turn on the pump, very little or no part of your areola should be pulled in.</p><p>Most breast pumps come with a standard flange measuring 24 mm, but you can often buy a smaller, 21 mm size or a larger, 27 mm to 28 mm size—and sometimes sizes up to 36 mm—if such an option isn’t included. If your nipple measures roughly from 17 mm to 21 mm in diameter, the 24 mm size is likely to fit. You can size up or down accordingly or <a href="https://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/breastfeeding/breast-pump-flange-size" rel="noopener" target="_blank">consult this chart</a> for more specifics.</p><p><strong>Valves: </strong>These are small pieces of silicone that tend to be shaped like a duck’s bill and are attached to the back of the flanges or shields. They expand and contract to create the pump’s suction and release milk into the container or collection bottle. They also tend to be the part of the pump that wears out most quickly and needs replacing every few months. Consult your pump’s instructions on when to replace the valves—if you can see any warping of the silicone or any space between the two silicone flaps, it’s time to order new valves.</p><p><strong>Membranes: </strong>Some pumps, including many Medela models, use small circular membranes that connect to the valves and prevent the milk from flowing back into the breast pump’s motor.</p><p><strong>Tubing:</strong> Many electric pumps have clear plastic tubing to vacuum air between the flange and the breast pump. Milk should never enter this tubing, so typically you don’t have to clean it. Just make sure it stays as dry and condensation-free as possible so that mold doesn’t grow.</p><p><strong>Milk-storage container: </strong>Standard electric pumps usually funnel the milk into a plastic container that you can cap with a nipple and convert to a bottle for feeding. You can also simply put a cap on it for storage.</p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-8"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="breast-pumps-and-insurance"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="breast-pumps-and-insurance-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Breast pumps and insurance" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="11">Breast pumps and insurance</h2><div id="breast-pumps-and-insurance-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="breast-pumps-and-insurance" aria-hidden="false"><p>By law, all health insurance plans are required to cover a breast pump without a co-pay. However, not all plans allow you to keep that breast pump—some cover only the cost of renting one.

Be sure to contact your insurance by the end of your second trimester to see what steps you need to take to order your breast pump, as well as to learn which pumps are available to you. (This window isn’t a hard deadline—you can actually order a pump at any time during your pregnancy and up until your child is 12 months old.) Some insurance plans require doctor authorization. Some limit you to a list of approved brands and models. Other plans simply reimburse you for a certain amount, which might not cover the full cost of a more expensive breast pump.</p><p>If you contact your insurance provider and learn that it won’t cover a breast pump, yours might have been grandfathered in before the current laws took effect.

Pumps can also help relieve and soften engorged breasts, and they can assist in maintaining a milk supply between breastfeeds or while the parent is away from the baby. Depending on your situation, you may need one or more of several types of breast pumps. If you anticipate pumping only occasionally, you might try a manual pump. A manual pump can be useful in the early postpartum period, when many people experience engorgement. When the body first begins making milk, it often overshoots its target—making breasts large, sore, and hard. Engorgement can be painful, and latching a new baby to an engorged breast can be tricky, too. A manual pump can relieve pain, soften the breast, and make it a little easier for the baby to latch. Later, even if a double electric pump enters the picture, a manual pump is often still useful tossed in a handbag or suitcase as a just-in-case travel companion. Compared with an electric model, a manual pump is quieter and easier to control, and it can be more efficient if you need to pump for short sessions (such as on a short work break) because it requires less setup and cleanup. A manual pump can also coax the last ounces of milk from a breast that the baby doesn’t fully empty—making it helpful for clearing clogged ducts and avoiding mastitis (when a clog in a milk duct becomes infected). If you anticipate sitting down to pump regularly, you might try a standard electric pump. Electric pumps are generally more efficient than manual pumps and are useful after your milk supply is established and you begin to pump at regular intervals.

Some people may need something more than the moderately priced double electric models we cover in this guide. If the baby can’t latch well or if milk supply has been difficult to establish, you may be a candidate to rent a hospital-grade or “multiuser” pump such as the Medela Symphony or Ameda Platinum.

We also favored pumps that were reasonably comfortable to use, with few to no reports of painful pumping sessions.

Reasonable price: In many cases, insurance covers all or part of the cost of a pump (plus a few visits with a lactation consultant). But because you may need to pay out of pocket, we still consider price. We expect more from the highest-priced pumps, and we try to identify the best-performing pumps available for less. As part of our original reporting for this guide, three lactating testers compared eight breast pumps. In 2022, I researched 31 pumps—the same models we first tested as well as new pumps introduced since our original testing. I then spent several months testing 13 pumps during the summer and fall of 2022, and I recruited my neighbor—a labor and delivery nurse, an experienced pumper, and fellow parent to a July 2022 baby—to provide additional testing feedback. Typically I used each pump for about a week to allow my body time to adjust to its flange style and suction pattern, but I also frequently returned to my favorites out of convenience. For each pump, I began by unpacking and noting all the parts and accessories, such as carry bags, freezer storage pouches, and extra flanges. I then sanitized all the pump parts in the microwave (using Munchkin Jumbo Microwavable Sterilizer Bags or Medela Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bags), and I washed and dried everything, noting how easy and time-consuming each pump was to clean. From there, I created a schedule for pump testing—and I took notes throughout. For each pumping session, I set a timer for 15 minutes and then assessed how much milk was produced. Because I found my supply to be too erratic for me to draw quantifiable conclusions about each pump’s production total, I relied on description and note-taking to track how effective each pump was at emptying a breast. After a week with each model, I had a good sense of how the pump felt, as well as how quickly and fully it extracted my milk. For electric pumps, I also used the NIOSH decibel meter app (recommended by the CDC), placed 3 feet away, to measure how loud the motor was. When I was finished, I noted how easily I could pour the milk into a storage container without spilling, and then I took apart the pump and cleaned it once more. In summer 2024, we tested the new Baby Buddha 2.0 with an 8-month-old and the baby’s mom, who was exclusively pumping. (Her baby was born in the NICU in November 2023, and they started using pumps and bottles from day one.) She compared the Baby Buddha 2.0 with the original model for two months.","title":"How we picked and

Its key advantage is that unlike the standard Spectra pump (and most other double electric pumps) it allows you to control the suction on each side independently. It has dual motors that let you better motivate a “slacker” side. Popular among exclusive pumpers, the SG Portable represents a step up from the Spectra S1 Plus and S2 Plus in that it has two separate motors. This dual-motor design lets you crank up the suction on one side, which helps if, like me, you have a “slacker” side that you need to motivate. Despite its small size, the SG Portable is efficient and powerful—in my extensive testing, I found that it emptied my breasts even faster than the standard Spectra S1 Plus did. It has a superior touchscreen. The pump has an intuitive, light-up touchscreen with just a few buttons: a stimulation/expression (massage) mode button, left and right power buttons, and buttons on each side to toggle between five different stimulation levels and 12 different expression levels. It saves your settings from the previous session, and it tracks how long you’ve been pumping on its clear LCD screen. Much like the S1 Plus, this pump is notably quiet—we measured it at 44 dB from a distance of 3 feet. It’s light, compact, and portable. At 1.5 pounds, the SG Portable is small enough that it’s easy to move from room to room or carry to work in a bag. There’s no need to plug it into the wall—it comes with a USB-rechargeable battery that maintains power for days of regular pumping between charges. It’s relatively nice to look at. Looks aren’t a criterion in our judgment of breast pumps, but this model stands out in that department—on a desk or bookshelf, it comes across more like artful decor than a milking contraption. I found that its clean and modern appearance made it more of a joy to use. It’s as easy to clean as the S1 Plus. The three basic parts of this pump that need washing—the flange, a duckbill valve, and the milk receptacle—are simple to clean and maintain. It relies on the same parts as other Spectra pumps do. This pump comes with two flange sizes, 24 mm and 28 mm, but if you need a bigger or smaller version, they’re readily available to order from Spectra and easy to find in a store. Its parts are interchangeable with those of other Spectra pumps. This pump also comes with a two-year limited warranty; its accessories have a 90-day limited warranty. The warranty covers defects only for its original user, and only when the pump is purchased from Spectra, through insurance, or a licensed dealer. Flaws but not dealbreakers Unlike the Spectra S1 Plus and S2 Plus—but like most other double electric pumps—the Spectra SG Portable doesn’t allow you to control the speed of the suction. (If you want to be able to control the speed of the suction as well as to control each side independently, consider the Spectra Synergy Gold, which is essentially the same pump but larger and lacking a rechargeable battery.) The Spectra SG Portable doesn’t come with a designated carry handle or carry bag, though it’s much easier to fit into a bag than the S1 Plus or S2 Plus. Note that this model is more expensive than our other picks and less likely to be fully covered by insurance.","title":"Upgrade pick: Spectra SG Portable","slug":"upgrade-pick-spectra-sg-portable","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_320946","align":"alignnone","width":"2048"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-full wp-image-320946","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-01136.jpg","alt":"The petite BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump connected to two hygienic suction pumps.","width":"2048","height":"1365","noInlineStyles":true,"postType":"review"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2023/06/breastpumps-2048px-01136.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Marki Williams"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"alternate","id":"4"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Best for","callouts":[{"name":"BabyBuddha Portable Breast Pump 2.0 ","title":"Best for hands-free pumping","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/62845/BabyBuddha-Portable-Breast-Pump-2-0-_20240625-190342_full.jpeg"},"description":"This compact pump provides superior comfort while maintaining efficient extraction, especially when compared to the original 1.0 model.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Best for","pickTypeId":10,"referenceId":194724,"sources":[{"id":203050,"price":{"raw":24999,"formatted":"$250"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX3B21YK/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/62845/203050/4/194724","store":"Amazon"}],"inactiveSources":[],"productId":62845,"calloutId":"p4","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":203050,"price":{"raw":24999,"formatted":"$250"},"order":0,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"InStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX3B21YK/","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/62845/203050/4/194724","store":"Amazon"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"The ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"href":"https://amazon.com/dp/B078PSH6PS/","rel":"noopener","target":"_blank"},"children":[{"data":"BabyBuddha 2.0","type":"text"}]},{"data":" provides superior comfort while maintaining efficient extraction, especially when compared with the original model.

Consult your pump’s instructions on when to replace the valves—if you can see any warping of the silicone or any space between the two silicone flaps, it’s time to order new valves. Membranes: Some pumps, including many Medela models, use small circular membranes that connect to the valves and prevent the milk from flowing back into the breast pump’s motor. Tubing: Many electric pumps have clear plastic tubing to vacuum air between the flange and the breast pump. Milk should never enter this tubing, so typically you don’t have to clean it. Just make sure it stays as dry and condensation-free as possible so that mold doesn’t grow. Milk-storage container: Standard electric pumps usually funnel the milk into a plastic container that you can cap with a nipple and convert to a bottle for feeding. You can also simply put a cap on it for storage.","title":"What to know about breast pump parts","slug":"what-to-know-about-breast-pump-parts","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"By law, all health insurance plans are required to cover a breast pump without a co-pay.
