The 10 Best Breast Pumps of 2023, According to Parents

Spectra S2 Plus ($169)

Considered one of the top double-electric breast pumps on the market, the Spectra S2 Plus is more compact and quieter than other commonly recommended options, such as those from Medela. It also has an "expression mode," which imitates a baby's suck patterns at the beginning of (and potentially again in the middle of) a nursing session that stimulates the let-down or an initial spray of milk. Many insurance plans cover the cost. The most significant drawback: you'll need a wall outlet.

"It's extremely quiet, so I can easily use it right next to my baby's head while he's sleeping, and he doesn't stir from the noise at all," one Amazon reviewer noted.
