I had my first baby in 2023 and now due in august with my second baby. My insurance offers two breast pumps- have breast pumps changed much in last 2 years? I have a spectra s1. I do need new parts and bottles

Pump no. Pump parts definitely. Bottles maybe.

There are better wearable pumps now I think than two years ago. If not better, certainly more options. Could be good to get a set to supplement the trusty spectra.

I would opt for a portable pump this time. Mine offered baby Buddha.

Really depends on how much you used your first pump and if the motor is worn out.

I’d also recommend considering a portable pump if your spectra is still in good shape!

I would appreciate any input!!!!
