I got the willow go and so far have been really happy with it! My 5th son that was born in Dec has been having milk transfer issues but with having 5 kids I needed something mobile to have any hope of pumping with any consistency. So far I like it and I feel like the spectra and I get about the same output.

@@tehziashaheen5714for my spectra, the fridge hack works great! I pumped every 2 hours and it helped out so I didn't need to clean after every pump. It's where you put your flange/bottles in the refrigerator between pumps rather than cleaning after each use. It's not recommended by cdc. Obviously cleaning after each use is more sanitary and the better option if you have the time. I used it while working to save some time.

@madelynsmith11162 жыл бұрын
I need the suction, which puts Willow brand above Elvie for me. Elvie stride is out - if I want to deal with tubes, I'll use my regular pump. The Willow Go is my pic over Willow 3.0 because 1) You can move between stimulation and expression mode. I always have issues with my let down and the 3.0 didn't give the flexibility I need. 2) I don't want to use the app (I use Huckleberry so all my baby stuff is right there together). But I like that if needed I can see the suction level. (Big fail by Medela on their new pump that's replacing the pump in style ☹️). 3) The 3.0 had a lot of bad reviews with troubleshooting and error messages. Only two things to clean but they seemed to always throw an error. When I'm ready to pump, it's go time. No time for playing around with an error message. 4) I just need to be able to wash the dishes or change a diaper or watch the kids outside while pumping, I don't need to turn upside down while pumping or try to sleep while pumping. Plus 360 movement was only possible when using the bags with the 3.0, which are expensive. Willow Go is my pic over Elvie because 1) suction. (However, I found no matter what pump, it's gotta be TIGHT to get enough suction for me.) Otherwise they seem the same - same mobility, same pumping features. Elvie's app let's you operate the pump from the app, which women looking for discretion might like better. But again, I have no intention of using the app. And Willow Go has the option of buying larger storage, but really, I never pumped over 3 oz per breast. I always find it funny when women say they get 25 oz from one pumping session. Not sure what that's all about, but hasn't been the case for me.

Thanks for the review. I ended up selling the willow go. It weighed me down so much I had to really tighten my bra straps to keep the pumps in place then I just felt like I was stretching out and ruining my expensive nursing bras. I did like the suction. The other thing that annoyed me though was you can only turn it off and on and adjust the setting from the pump it’s self not the app. The app only tells you what setting you have it on and the time which isn’t very useful. I got the pump because I wanted to be more discreet but it’s not very discreet when I have to lift up my shirt to turn it on or adjust the settings. Im now considering the Elvie stride. I originally decided against it because of the tubes but now I think it will be nice to adjust the settings from a pump that is separate so I don’t have to worry about lifting up my shirt in public and also hoping it won’t be so bulky since it’s just the cups.

Thank you for this comparison. I was considering the Elvie original before watching this and now thinking I will purchase the Willow Go. I am curious though, I was recently reminded that I dealt with vasospasms with my first baby. I may have blocked out the trauma from that but from what I remember, it was worse when nursing than when I pumped. I have a Spectra S1 that I plan to use as my main pump for baby #2 and the Willow Go would be for convenience when not wanting to lug around the Spectra. You mention that the Elvie has a gentler suction than that of the Willow. Do you think that would be better should I be dealing with vasospasms again this time around?

Hospital grade isn’t really thing, and I definitely wouldn’t classify the elvie stride in the same category as a pump found in a hospital. The pump is pretty good, but small and likely won’t hold up to heavy use. Paired with the cups makes it even tricker to get right. If you’re just pumping occasionally, it’s likely just fine! Heavy use though I’d be a little worried about it doing a good enough job. Works for some people though!

Also, you can’t steam sterilize the parts which is kind of a pain. Another downside is that they don’t seal so you can spill.

Pros: No wires or tubes which is great if you are trying to care for a baby at the same time. It's also great for house work and in the car (while you aren't driving). The suction is pretty good and I get comparable milk output to my spectra S1 pump. Cons: it makes you look ridiculously busty and is hard to fit in some nursing bras. My husband giggled a bit and asked me to please never get implants after he saw it 🤣 It is very hard to use compression/ breast massage with this pump so I am alternating with the spectra pump I have. Cleaning it and drying it multiple times a day is time consuming.

Ok for a FTM who needs to make a decision before first baby is born for insurance purposes HOW do we know?!? So much of this video is dependent on what you like, how your boobs are etc. But we don't know the answer to these things yet! It's still a very informative video especially with the graphs to help visualize. But I'm no less confused on what I'm going to buy.

I know, I’m so sorry! At the end of the day, you just need to make a decision based on your budget and the situation in which you’ll be pumping. If you’re a working mom, I do have additional resources to help with this decision!! www.Newlittlelife.com

Hi Alison. Im so glad to have found your video ❤❤❤ If you can assist me, im a working mom and an exclusive pumping mom too. I work as a customer service consultant and need to be at my desk most of the time, to answer call. There will be time that require me to meet up with my client as well.. So i really need an effective pump, to ensure i can maintain my milk supply and at the same time i need a discreet pump as well. Im thinking of purchasing elvie stride. Do you think this pump will work for me? Really appreciate your kind feedback on my concern 🤗🤗🥰🥰

Thank you as always for an awesome, informative video. I’m still debating if I am going to get a fancy wearable but the WG or original Elvie are my top two right now… it’s a large investment and it’s always so polarizing with superb reviews and terrible ones 🤷🏻♀️ I’m curious about the sound levels while in use?… and the battery life for the Willow Go? If any one has insight, I would love to hear it!
@katelyndavis87982 жыл бұрын
I have the original Elvie and it’s super quiet and I love it! I have no complaints about the pump, it’s actually been a live saver having two kids!
@skyreactionschannel18262 жыл бұрын
Yes the noise level and the battery life are my 2 concerns as well. Did you happen to make a choice and complete purchase? If so can you please tell me which one you went with and how you’re liking it??

I have the willow go and I find it kind of loud. Especially if you have it above a 6.
@kaylaperkins83092 жыл бұрын
I use the mortif duo and I pump on 3 for stimulation then in expression I pump on 4 then I up it to 5 then into 7 over the 15 minutes I pump. Im thinking the willow go would be just fine for me and I usually only get 2-3oz for each breast even in the morning right now. I exclusively breast feed but am going back to work.

I'm due with baby #3 in Sept. This will make 3 kiddos 3 & under when this one comes... so I need portable. I know I have elastic nipples, is there one that you would recommend that works better with elastic nipples?
@cuhristen42 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrea. I have 3 kids 3 and under with my youngest being almost 5 months old. I also have elastic nipples. I have tried the original elvie and the willow 3.0. I respond much better with the elvie however it does not have the leakproof capability. I purchased the willow 3.0 with this baby bc the leakproof bags, but I just don’t respond to it well at all. I plan on selling it to try the willow go.

I’m curious why you believe stride wouldn’t be an everyday pump and you say more than likely if we get it we will need another? Do you feel the same about the willow go? I have a back up pump in case this happens but I’m just curious as to why you believe this. Thanks for your time 🙏🏼

Good question :) this is COMPLETELY my own opinion. Im not confident that a wearable pump (and especially the elvie stride due to how gentle the suction is) can empty quite as efficiently as a traditional flange. For some people it does well, but in a general video like this I hesitate to recommended it as a good option in a blanket general statement. For the students in my program who I know their situations, they needs, and their milk supply, I could more confidently recommend something like this if it was appropriate. Does that make sense? The elvie stride in particular though has a unique suction feel and the reviews on it have been mixed so far. So without taking directly to someone, I choose to create my opinion in the way I stated it in the video. If you want to hear me talk about about this topic, I do in my webinars! www.newlittlelife.com/breast-pump-webinars/

I sold my Willow Go because it felt like the weight of the pump pulled down my bra and misaligned my nipples and I never got good output. I'm a 36 E/F
