Most double pumps run both sides from one motor, so you set one suction level for both. The Synergy Gold has a motor for each side, with its own buttons, so you can run the left gentler than the right. Spectra lists up to 270 mmHg per side and 12 vacuum levels on each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a plug-in pump with no battery. That makes it a pump for a fixed spot: a nursery chair, a lactation room at work, the place you pump eight times a day in the early weeks.

Milk comes out when your let-down reflex fires, and a setting that hurts can work against it. Start low, raise the suction until it's firm but comfortable, then back off a step. Pain, cracking or blanched nipples usually point to flange fit or technique, not to needing a stronger pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your supply is low, or one side has dropped off, talk to your provider or a lactation consultant before buying new equipment. How often and how completely you empty matters most, and some causes of low supply need a medical look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMindy, FNP-C\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a dual motor breast pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double pump with a separate motor for each breast. Each side gets its own suction setting, and running both at once doesn't split the power between them. The Spectra Synergy Gold is one of the few on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spectra Synergy Gold portable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It runs on AC power and has to stay plugged in. Spectra sells a separate model, the Synergy Gold Portable, with a battery. If you need to pump on the move, that or a wearable pump fits better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get the Spectra Synergy Gold through insurance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly, and it's worth checking first. The Affordable Care Act requires most health plans to cover a breast pump at no cost, though plans decide which models, whether it's a rental, and whether you need a prescription. Call your insurer or a durable medical equipment supplier they work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Spectra Synergy Gold a hospital-grade pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Hospital grade\" isn't an official category. The FDA says it does not recognize the term, so it tells you nothing about safety. What the FDA does distinguish is single-user pumps, like the Synergy Gold, from multiple-user pumps built to be shared safely, like the rental pumps hospitals use. Never buy or borrow a used single-user pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat flange sizes come with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24 mm and 28 mm, two of each. Many people need a smaller size, and the right fit matters more than suction for both comfort and output. A lactation consultant can measure you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPECTRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45443215851658,"sku":"B092KCQWYH","price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1625\/2042\/files\/51or-L-FI1L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1790374706","url":"https:\/\/awaitingthestork.com\/products\/spectra-synergy-gold-dual-motor-breast-pump","provider":"Awaiting the Stork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
