I was thinking the same thing!

Both breast pumps are fsa, hsa and insurance compatible for anyone that wants one. And they actually don’t run $500 for both the elvie actually is only $400 coming for both, but you have the option to get only one as well which is $200 something. Again both you can get through insurance or hsa and fsa

I would love a video on what you two did for sleep training or sleep support for your little one after the newborn stage.

Would love a 2023 update with the other pumps you mentioned at the end of the video.

Thank you for doing all this research and making this video! It was very needed. You're right - these things are not cheap. Us Mama's need reviews like this. ♡ God bless you.

Can you as well review the new Elvie Stride wearable pump please!? Lots of people love it and it’s cheaper than the original Elvie and said it’s “hospital grade” pump! Thank you!

Tbh I did a lot of research between the Willow 3 and the Willow Go and tbh the Willow Go is the way easier, more affordable option. It’s still louder but it feels more akin to my spectra when it comes to emptying my breasts when I crank it up. Anyway, the Willow Go model is a game changer as far as pumping goes, the new model seems really good for if you need sanitary bags but honestly it’s a money grab. I exclusively have to pump for my nicu baby and the Go has really saved my breastfeeding journey. One big negative though is you can’t stick your pump parts in the fridge if you’re a lazy bum like me who used to only wash my parts like three times a day. So I do a couple good hand washes and sanitize/dry the pump parts in my little sanitizer machine now.

Thank you for bringing up the point about not emptying enough can reduce supply. Our team of IBCLCs often get asked if we have wearable pumps. In truth we have prototypes but have yet to mass produce because of this concern. We like to say the 'traditional' pumps are considered primary and wearables can be considered 'secondary.' Hopefully after more perfecting, we will feel safe to deliver a wearable version to the market soon. We work so hard to make milk for our babies! Understandably everyone's lifestyle should be considered when choosing what's best for their bodies.

-I really appreciate your review. I had the Willow 3 for exclusive pumping in 2020 (my 2nd baby was in NICU and refused to BF from me once she realized she didn't have to work for it from a bottle, lol). I am a psych nurse in clinic and sometimes hospital. I had a Medela Symphony that I would use (usually at home for comfort). The Willow was great for work as hands free but because of constant suction, I think I just got to the point I was tired of it and uncomfortable (I quit pumping at 3 months, sadly). I also had issues with reusable containers after 2 months not working and the company sent me tips, those didn't help, I bought new containers and it would eventually not read that I was pumping and not get out of stimulation mode. The added costs of the Willow just make me think that I'm not going that route thus time and will try Elvie instead. My BCBS insurance covered Willow in full. My nips are elastic per lactation consultant and stretch very easily which may have contributed to my discomfort. I will try the Elvie this time and hope for the best given its more natural suction. I feel the constant suck on the Willow really didn't help with my let down and I was never fully emptied which I desperately needed to avoid mastitis which I had twice. I liked that the Willow had the bag option too but it got pricey. My 3rd baby should be here in 2 months or less, so i hope to breastfeed but will be ready for back to work with a hands free pump. Thank you again for the review!

If your baby isn't interested yet or doesn't like it, pause for a week and then try again.

I am 5 weeks PP and exclusively pumping. My primary pump is the Spectra Synergy Gold, which I love and I recently purchased the Imani 2 from Legendairy Milk. I love my spectra as it really empties me, but the Imani is hit or miss. Some sessions it seems to empty me and others I find an hour later I need to go back to my spectra and pump for relief. I am a teacher and will be going back to work in a few more weeks. I am still considering the Elvie or Willow as the Imani is very bulky and I’m just not thrilled with the performance of it.

Oh hun, don’t stress. I breastfed my son for 19 months without ever needing to supplement with formula. Drinking enough water is major! I drank 4 litres a day. I also continued taking my prenatal vitamins with dha for baby’s brain development. In the beginning I would pump for 15 minutes after I nursed my little guy so my milk came in in an abundance! Nutritional eating is a major factor as well. Sleep also impacts milk production, we co-slept and my breasts were readily available so I would barely even have to wake up to nurse (I’m a light sleeper). You got this hun, your body will know what to do

I like the idea of a hands free option but at $500 I think I'd like to know breastfeeding will work for me and understand my supply before making that kind of investment.

Speaking from my recent experience, having some type of pump helps because it lets you see if your milk has come and how much you can get. I wish someone told me to get a pump because for 4 days, my poor baby was starving as I thought I was “nursing” without realizing my milk hadn’t come. I’d nurse for good 40 minutes and would put the baby down thinking the baby had enough milk when in fact, I barely had any. I so wish someone mentioned to pump so I could see how much I’m giving the baby. Even a hand held manual pump works if your intending on using it just for few days for measuring purposes.

If you are following a feeding with a pump it just makes sure you were empty and you can see how much was left, but if you're replacing a feeding it's not a great measure. Also one way to tell if baby is getting anything while they are nursing is to listen for swallows, but the only way to know for sure how much they were able to get from you is to go to an IBCLC and do a weighted feed.

What are some Facebook support groups can I join ? I am in my second trimester

How do you check to see if you’re empty??

Would you say it's worth it to get hands free over something loke a spectra if you don't care as mich about output

This is unrelated and it could be just the lighting, but it appears that your right side of neck is enlarged? I hope you are ok. Great video comparison!

Is it painful ? And is it pumps good?

Correction: You can change the suction level from the Willow 3.0 app so you don't have to go under your shirt to adjust it. Another con of the Willow is that the bags are just awkward. The weird round shape is hard to store, the label's writing area is very small, and they are difficult to pour milk out of.

Is this good for girls who are double DD?

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to create these videos! I have learned so much. Quick question about the booster vaccine and first trimester. I am 6 weeks pregnant and worried about the potential for high fever if I get the booster vaccine during my first trimester. Is there any evidence indicating that waiting (and quarintining😎) until 2nd trimester to get the booster (or any vaccine) shot could mitigate against potential harm from vaccine immune response fever? Thank you! (And as always, I plan to consult my OB😊)

Hi, I’m 20 weeks now, but I got my booster at 16 weeks. I spoke with my midwife because I had a high fever with the second shot. We decided to wait till the second trimester and I was fine. The side effects were a lot less severe with the booster thankfully Speak with your OB or midwife and get their advice!

I’m not a dr but from what my midwife told me and from what I’ve seen recommended in their videos there’s no reason to wait IF you have a chance of being exposed to covid. Otherwise waiting till your second trimester is fine. I didn’t have any reaction to my first two shots (only a little sore where the shot was given) so it could depend on your body too. If you felt very ill or had a high fever with the first two shots that’s when I would wait personally. But remember too people get sick and have fevers all the time and still have healthy babies. I think it goes off of your risk of exposure and comfort level. I didn’t want to do anything for the first trimester but sleep haha. Good luck!

There’s no increased risk that’s been seen from these vaccines to babies at any time during pregnancy. If it makes you feel better to isolate and wait until later in pregnancy, you can do that, but we would recommend to our loved ones not to wait given the increased risks of COVID to women who are pregnant. - the best way to keep baby healthy is to keep mom healthy.

@@TheDoctorsBjorkman I hated when our OBGYN told us this as if there have been years of the proper studies done. NOBODY TRULY KNOWS. So to tell all these mothers there aren’t any possible side effects and you should just take it should be a crime. Get back to me when all of these babies turn 10>15>18, when these mothers have 2 more babies after their boosters, when there aren’t literally drastic side affects in the beginning stages of the vaccine. Irresponsible….

My Frist baby I found really hard breastfeed I really was producing anything for months by then she was on milk powder will these breast help to bring my milk on I'm pregnant now

Curious about most recent data on co-sleeping and what the science says

Any thoughts on the WillowGo?

This is a great (and challenging) topic. We found TakingCaraBabies to be incredibly helpful for us. It maybe a bit until we get around to make a video ourselves on this, so please check out her stuff. It’s great!

Hi Dr. Bjorkman, Do you know how woman that have large breast do with these pumps?

Strange question because my neck looks like yours. Do you have an enlarged thyroid?
