Shocking differences of the Willow 3.0

[@charitywooten2135]

So Willow is pulling an Ameda, Motif, & Medela stunt. I guess we should pretty much prepare for over time the companies are going to change pumps without changing names because they know otherwise moms may not buy them. This is really disappointing for how much these pumps cost.

Absolutely... Hopefully with us testing and monitoring these changes then bring awareness, maybe we can force them to realize moms are not ok with this. Maybe even get oversight over these companies pushed through. There is so much to share, it just requires time getting all the facts straight for families... More to come!

@@thenaturallioness I am on my 6th EP journey. I used Willow 2.0 and got caught by the firmware update right after I bought them and it destroyed my nipples. I ended up with the 3.0 immediately when it released. I also had the original Luna as my main pump with a plug in and 2 battery powered, so watching what they have done is so disappointing. I’m so thankful I kept my original Luna because watching moms with the new version who are on their 3rd, 4th or 5th is just so sad. I personally got caught by the Medela Freestyle mess, I had the Flex made in 2019 but got it in 2020, it is still going strong. Got the new Handsfree and I’m on my 4th since May but this time they sent me a Flex motor made in March 2023 which seems like it will have the same issues as the Handsfree motor since they have the same firmware. I also have a Swing Maxi so my trusty Flex and Swing Maxi because I haven’t been willing to tempt with the new Flex motor yet.

Yeah it's terrible. I got burned by the 2.0 update with my first as well, but thankfully was just in warranty... I never could adjust to any of the 3.0s due to many changes that they did in a short timeframe with attempts for both journey 2 & 3... Wall pumps aren't going anywhere anytime soon due to the shady company practices.

@@thenaturallioness when I had my first there was the old school PISA. I used a PISA for 1-3 then 4 was the Spectra S1 & then for babies 5 & 6 we won’t discuss how many different pumps I have used.
