I wanted to love it.
I was SO excited to get this pump. It was going to allow me more freedom with pumping while being a mom to a newborn and 2 year old. I’m an exclusive pumper and have tried many pumps along my journey.
The Willow 3.0 was a HUGE disappointment.
The pumps are so big that you cannot handle your infant comfortably on the side your carrying your baby. Oh and the willow bras? Bought em- not effective for holding the pump in place.
In the first 3 months of my feeding journey I required 3 replacements! And not from pump fatigue but other issues like not connecting to app, broken pieces, etc. my pumps were replaced due to warranty but it was so stressful to not have my pumps working properly almost every month and having to make the same phone call! You are already stressed enough as a new mom and not being able to get milk for your baby adds to the stress!
My latest replacement..I was sent the wrong pump. So now I have to wait longer for replacement.
The accessories: last about 2 months effectively. The best are the bags BUT don’t forget to add this to the already expensive cost of the pump. They also freeze well but take up more space vs the square bags in the freezer.
I’m a nurse practitioner and was looking forward to wearing this if I had a meeting…however you can definitely tell you’re wearing a pump. It is not discrete as advertised.
The app never connected correctly. So many times I didn’t know how much was in the bags/cannisters. And had to keep an eye on the time…
