Get the details on our virtual group sessions — a complimentary benefit for all Willow Go pumpers.
Since the beginning, we’ve set out to create a more supportive system for moms on their feeding journey — answering their questions, connecting them with experts, and giving them the tools they needed to feed on their terms.
Our virtual “Pump & Pour” program for Willow Go pumpers is one of the many ways that we set them up for success. A group coaching program led by our Willow Mom Coaches, it’s an opportunity to learn more about important topics like flange fit, pump cleaning, optimizing suction, and more. These are all things that lead to more comfort and more milk output!
Read on for everything you need to know about the Pump & Pour program.
Program Overview
Pump & Pour is designed to support you wherever you are on your journey: whether you’re brand new to pumping, just getting started with your Willow Go, navigating a sudden change in comfort or output, or just want confirmation that you’re using the right-size flange.
These sessions are also an opportunity to connect with other Willow moms who are navigating life with babies and doing their best to feed with confidence. Nothing compares to community!
Most importantly? They’re led by our unparalleled Mom Coaches, who go above and beyond to answer every last question and provide guidance that’s based on your needs — not textbook responses.
(P.S. These sessions are not meant to take the place of reaching out to our Customer Care team, which is the best way to get timely support if you’re dealing with a more urgent issue.)
