What to do if there is hard water sediments in the pumping parts
If you find hard water sediments on your breast pump parts, cleaning them thoroughly is important to maintain their functionality and ensure proper hygiene. Refer to the CDC guidelines for detailed instructions on safe cleaning practices. www.cdc.gov/hygiene/pdf/breastpumpkit-clean-508.pdf
I thought you could pump directly into the bottles, can you/
You can pump directly into Spectra Baby USA bottles, and if you're using narrow neck bottles, the Spectra Small to Wide Neck Milk Bottle Cap Adapter allows you to easily convert them for use with the Spectra Wide Neck Breast Flange. www.spectrababyusa.com/store/small-cap-bottle-adapter/
How often should you be sterilising the pump parts? should they be sterilised after every use?
The CDC recommends washing all pump parts that come into contact with breast milk after every use and sanitizing them once a day for extra germ removal. For more information, download the sheet provided here: www.cdc.gov/hygiene/pdf/breastpumpkit-clean-508.pdf
The instructions need to be revamped in this video and instruction Manuel. I have to search Hugh and low for a clear answer on what to sanitize and what not to
We apologize for any confusion and sincerely value your feedback. Your input is essential to us, and we are always looking for ways to enhance communication with our customers. Thank you!
Are we sure we should be putting boiling water on the plastic?
The CDC recommends sanitizing your accessories at initial use and once daily after being cleaned for extra germ protection. Learn more about cleaning your Spectra baby USA accessories at www.spectrababyusa.com/cleaning-your-spectra-baby-usa-pump-and-accessories/.
This video is confusing. Do boil then don't boil. And "Use soapy water and rinse thoroughly" is on the "Don't screen." I'm guessing it's saying that the following parts SHOULD be washed with soapy water, but this is presented in a confusing way.
It is recommended to boil all parts except the backflow protectors and duckbill valves. Tubing does not come in contact with breastmilk and should never be washed. We apologize for the confusion and value your feedback. Please let us know if you need further assistance at customercare@spectrababyusa.com.
@@spectrababyusa1010the instruction Manuel I just got with my pump said to boil the valves… this is sooo confusing. You guys need to revamp all of this it’s so confusing
Thank you for detailed tutorial! Best regards from half a globe across the world :)
Glad we can help and appreciate your comment!
I thought you couldn't get the tubing wet and that you had to replace them if you did? I sanitized all the parts without closely reading the manual first so the inside of my tubing is currently wet.
Hi Senora. Yes, the tubing doesn't need sanitizing as it never comes in contact with breast milk. You can try and hang it to air dry, but if it takes a while, we recommend replacing it.
My wife’s spectra pump is making a noise, and there is no suction.
Hi Matt! Go ahead and give our Customer Care department a call so we can troubleshoot - 1-855-405-0993

did you get yours fixed?

My S1 wont work unplugged what can I do?
Hi Abir! All our breast pumps come with a 2-year limited warranty. Give our customer care department a call at 1-855-405-0993 so we can assess your situation.
Terrible voiceover, please get someone else to narrate this video. You can’t understand anything she’s saying.
Mine turns off after 3 seconds
We apologize for the issues you are experiencing with your Spectra pump. Your pump comes with a 2-year warranty, and we are happy to replace it if necessary. Please reach out to our warranty team at customercare@spectrababyusa.com for assistance.
There is new research out there regarding proper sizing of the breast shields. The information came out last year. This is outdated information that needs to be updated.
Thank you for your feedback. In response to moms requesting more variety in sizes, we have recently launched a 16mm option available at spectrababyusa.com.
the light doesn’t turn on?
Give us a call so we can make sure the pump is functioning properly. 1-855-405-0993 Mon-Thur 9am to 8pm EST Fri 9am to 5pm EST
what if it holds the suction?

Did calling them help?
Spanish version?
The S1/2 Features and Assembly video is available with Spanish subtitles. ua-cam.com/video/ZHqavfsk63U/v-deo.html
Does boiling the parts kill off mold?
We recommend replacing if mold is present on the Spectra baby USA accessories. Please connect with us at customercare@spectrababyusa.com if you have any additional questions. Wishing you the best!
Can I sterilize the parts before first use and every after using in my philips avent sterilizer instead of boiling water? Thank you
Yes you can. But no more than 5 minutes.
I have a problem with my screen and the light. Every time i turn on the night light mode the screen goes blank. When i turn off the night light the screen goes back on. What do i do?
We apologize for the issues you are experiencing with your Spectra pump. Your pump comes with a 2-year warranty, and we are happy to replace it if necessary. Please reach out to our warranty team at customercare@spectrababyusa.com for assistance.
Hey, can you sterilize them in the Medela steam bags???
Hi Rebecca. It is possible but you must refer to the manufacturers manual and adhere to their guidelines.
Can I use Philips Avent Steam Sterilizer to sterilize instead of boiling water?
Yes, but not more than 5 minutes or the parts will warp.
Sooo question.. if the 3-piece UFO looking thing only has one side, if I understand correctly, which comes in contact with the milk, do all 3 parts still need to be cleaned and sterilised?
Yes. The Backflow Protector and its' 3 parts, need to be cleaned after every use.
@@spectrababyusa1010 thanks a million!
Hey i’m a spectra dad while mommas breastfeeding okay so say hi to us dads too please
We LOVE our Spectra dads! Thank you for all that you do to support breastfeeding!
Can I use the Dr Brown’s electric sterilizer? The cycle on the machine is 8 mins.
We recommend sterilizing all parts no more than 5 min. For more information on routine cleaning visit: www.spectrababyusa.com/manuals/
the first step says to remove and sanitize silicone parts separately under boiling water for no more than two minutes, and says that includes the nipples, but the video doesnt show the nipples in the strainer for this step, just the duck valves and backflow silicone pieces. it also looks like they put the nipples in the boiling water with the plastic parts for 3-5 minutes. so which is it for the nipples, 2 minutes or 3-5 in the pot? Also, if all pieces are dishwasher safe, which is what the manual says, can't I just run all these parts through the dishwasher on a sanitize cycle?
No more than 2 min for nipples along with the white silicone pieces. No more than 5 min for plastic accessories. Yes! They are dishwasher safe and can be used on the sanitize cycle. Good luck!
Hi, do you know how to check hours on spectra s9 plus?
Unfortunately, there is currently no settings to check hours pumped on the 9Plus. Keep in mind, all Spectra Baby USA pumps have a 2-year warranty regardless of hours used. Happy Pumping!
How can I join the next q&a
Follow us on IG! @spectrababyusa. We have one coming up in May!
Can’t you just sterilize everything in a microwave sterilizer?
Yes no more than 5 min.
Hey did you sterilize your breast pump parts in the microwave? Was thinking of using the medela bag?
Can I use the baby Brezza to sterilize instead of boiling water?
Yes no more than 5 min.
Can I microwave sterilize the membrane & valve? X
No. Do not microwave any breast pump parts.
Does it need to be replaced lile the valves? Thank you 🌷
Every 6-8 weeks is recommended.
Sorry but what does she have in her mouth? I had to turn on the volume so high to be able to hear what she is saying. Also confusing video. Why can’t we use the sterilizer & drier machines (like we do with Medela parts)???
I use the Avent microwave sterilizer. Should I not? Assuming they didn't mention it because it's a different brand? I used the pot at first but it feels dangerous to have a boiling pot and newborn near one another so often
You can, but they're hard on the parts, so you'll probably need to replace them a bit more often. Medela says the same thing about their parts.
We recommend sterilizing all parts no more than 5 min. For more information on routine cleaning visit: www.spectrababyusa.com/manuals/
In addition to the white membrane, make sure the white valve under the lid is on as well! Problem Solved!
Thank you..you just solve my problem❤️
Happy to help!
This video is a bit confusing. For the boiling water method, do you boil the water first, put the pump parts in, then take out after 3-5 minutes OR put all the parts in the water, bring to a boil, wait 5 minutes and then take out??
Agree I was just about to ask the same oddly!
Once the water reaches boiling point, turn off the heat and then submerge accessories in boiling water - the water should continue to boil. Remove accessories after 3-5 min. You can message our LCs directly at ibclc@spectrababyusa.com. Congratulations on your breastfeeding journey!
@@spectrababyusa1010 how does this work for Induction cooktops? Unlike gas/electric stoves, the water does not continue to boil for more than a second or two once it’s shut off.
@@marys5090 just put it lower. don’t turn off. The water should be at 100C to sterilize. If u turn off, it won’t boil and it ain’t sterilization.
@@ctry4702 thank you! We just left it to boil. The video footage doesn’t match the written instructions either so I just made my best guess…
I can’t double pump on my brand new Spectra S1
The S1 can be used for single and double pumping. Message us at customercare@spectrababyusa.com for troubleshooting assistance.
Patrice - did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same problem.
Message us at customercare@spectrababyusa.com for troubleshooting assistance. We're happy to assist!
When should you measure the website says not while you are pregnant but I am going to pump since day 1 of birth
Best time to measure will be 2-3 weeks after delivery. Go ahead and measure now to be prepared - keep in mind, nipple size may fluctuate. Message us at ibclc@spectrababyusa.com if you have additional questions. Wishing you a safe and speedy delivery!
What do you do if the pump continuously runs and won't turn off?
As a safety feature, ALL Spectra breast pumps shut off after 30 minutes.
@@spectrababyusa1010 what do you do if the suction stops working
First check all accessorires to ensure that there are no rips or tears and replace parts if necessary. Next, ensure that each piece is connected securely. If you are still having suction issues, please contact our warranty department at warranty@spectrababyusa.com.
I'm a retired technical writer. I know how much complicated work goes into making things look simple. This is beautiful and clear! The only thing I think I'd add is an arrow that points to which end goes towards the pump. Because the protector top and bottom look similar, I think that it might be easy for someone to try and connect it the wrong way. Even though it may not fit or work when connected the wrong way, an arrow would help someone avoid some frustration.
Thanks for your feedback!
I measure my nipple as 18 which some things say I would be a 24 and some says 21. The 24 pulls so much areola into the tunnel and it rubs. I’m trying a 21 but I’m worried I’m just between sizes and both just won’t work correctly.
Hi Casey! We can help with sizing! Schedule a complimentary virtual consult with a Spectra IBCLC here --> www.spectrababyusa.com/lactationservices
Isn’t the faster massage mode the letdown mode? Expression comes after to get out the majority of the milk.
Hi! Great question! The massage mode also known as "letdown" mode is set a quick cycle speed of 70. Expression mode slows down with 5 cycle speeds 38, 42, 46, 50, and 54. Message us at ibclc@spectrababyusa.com anytime for further assistance. Happy Pumping!
@@spectrababyusa1010 yea, unfortunately the video refers to Expression mode as the letdown mode down in the parentheses.
My nipple is inverted. How do I check my size?

Can i use uv sterilizer?
Yes! A UV Sterilizer is safe to use with Spectra Baby USA parts and accessories.
including backflow protector and duckbill valve? @@spectrababyusa1010
Where is the link for the printout
Hello! Please see link to breast flange fitting guide here: www.spectrababyusa.com/guide/
@@spectrababyusa1010 ....this link doesn't match what is in the video :( I was really hoping to buy items this weekend, but needed to measure first.
Awesome. I have been tried to put it back after cleaning. Thanks.
Glad we could help!
I boiled my parts before first use and since have been washing the parts with antibac wash after each use and airdrying. Is this correct? Or should I be boiling after each use? Thanks
CDC recommends washing all parts in warm soapy water after use and sanitizing 1x a day for added germ removal. Here's more information --> www.cdc.gov/healthywater/pdf/hygiene/breast-pump-fact-sheet-p.pdf
what size flange would you suggest for a mom with nipples that measure 15.88 mm?
The Spectra 20mm flange should be a good fit. Pumping should not hurt, if having pain or discomfort sizing down may be needed. We can help with flange sizing! Here's the link to schedule a virtual consult with a Spectra IBCLC --> www.spectrababyusa.com/lactationservices
