And why Willow Wave is the one.
Did you know that 68% of nursing moms rely on manual pumping for its convenience and accessibility? They’re a welcome addition to baby registries and must-have for breastfeeding moms. Here’s why.
Why every mom needs a manual pump
Designed without motors, manual pumps can be extremely useful during emergencies like power outages or unexpected circumstances, while traveling or pumping on the go, and even for alleviating clogged ducts or stimulating letdown before or after nursing.
As emergency backup
If you unexpectedly experience a power outage, it’s important to have a manual pump as backup in case your traditional pump requires electricity or your wearable isn’t fully charged. Even during the best circumstances, you may find your wearable needs charging––and sometimes pumping can’t wait! While a natural disaster is certainly not something we ever want to anticipate, they are still a situation to prepare for. In the event of an earthquake, hurricane or other evacuation situation, a manual pump is a crucial accessory to include in your Go Bag.
For travel or on the go
Whether pumping on a plane, at a soccer game, or between running errands, a manual pump is an easy way to express milk when your schedule just can’t wait. They’re portable, easy to clean and assemble, and quiet and discrete. You may even consider a manual pump if you work away from home and need a quick way to express milk before getting home in time to nurse.
To alleviate breastfeeding issues
Breastfeeding in the early days (and beyond) can be a lot of trial and error. Plugged ducts and engorgement are common, and sometimes moms even need help encouraging letdown. Sometimes moms want to encourage letdown on one side while feeding on the other, or may want to induce a letdown on both breasts after nursing. These changes in your nursing and pumping schedules can happen when baby drops a nighttime feeding or when you’re weaning.
To use alongside a primary pump
Most often a manual pump isn’t meant to be your primary pump, but a “just in case” tool for feeding your baby. Consider it a kind of “insurance.” If you pump with a Willow Go, for example, Willow Wave is your affordable, portable, comfortable and easy to use companion to your everyday pumping routine. As a new mom, peace of mind is paramount––and sometimes in short supply––so equipping yourself with a manual pump in case of travel or emergencies has benefits beyond just pumping.
Why you need a Wave Manual pump
Wave, like other manual pumps, is portable, quiet, and cost effective, but what makes it totally unique is its revolutionary new design. Wave is the first and only in-bra wearable manual pump designed for discretion, mobility, and flexibility. It has an ergonomic handle to give moms ultimate comfort and flexibility in how and where they pump. It’s not an awkward shape and it's easy to use, which is a game changer in the world of manual pumps. Need more proof? See how Wave stacks up against the competition.
