One of the best features of a wearable pump is the ability to move around while pumping. While every wearable pump offers more mobility than a traditional pump, there are ranges of wearable pump mobility.
Remembering to keep your pump charged is one of the biggest shifts from using a traditional pump. The last thing you want to happen is to sit down to pump and realize you haven’t charged your pump!
Both Willow and Medela take approximately two hours for a full charge.
Cost is an important consideration when choosing your pump. If this will be your primary/only pump, you could be eligible for some coverage of your wearable pump through insurance. How much coverage you are eligible for will depend on your insurance. When considering your pump, remember that it is an investment not only in your baby, but in yourself. A good pump makes all the difference in your pumping experience.
Every pump has a different level of suction and modes available. By switching pumping modes, you are able to enhance or decrease the amount of suction based on your let downs and your nipples’ response to the pump.
Whenever you use a breast pump - traditional or wearable - sizing matters. Be sure to check your nipple size to make sure that you order the proper shield size when you have chosen your pump.
Now, let’s get back to the pumps.
A key difference between wearable pumps and traditional pumps is milk collection. Rather than pumping into bottles, you will either pump into milk collection containers or pumping bags.
Willow 3.0 is designed with a zero-gravity latch to give you 360° of leak-proof mobility. It's the hands-free breast pump that changed the game.
With hospital-grade suction and a 100% comfort rating, Willow Go pumps quietly and discreetly (no dangling tubes, bottles, or external motors) so you can do it all.
Willow and Medela are well-known and reputable breast pump companies. The ultimate difference between the two is Willow being fully tubeless and in-bra, and Medela being connected to an out-of-bra pocket-sized pump with tubes.
When making your decision, consider your life and pumping needs. If you need any more convincing that Willow is the right fit for you, check out our blog filled with resources for mamas. We’ll be waiting!
