-I really appreciate your review. I had the Willow 3 for exclusive pumping in 2020 (my 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 had a Medela Symphony that I would use too. The Willow was great for work but because of constant suction, I think I just got to the point I was tired of it and uncomfortable. 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. Given my nips are elastic and stretched very easily, I may 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 after awhile. Thank you again for the review!

@nurulfairuzhajiali8532 3 года назад

Hello Allison. Hope you have a great day. Thank you so much for your review. Super helpful, informative and i love how you don't mind saying that you can't decide on which pump is better. I appreciated that 😊 Been using the Willow 2.0 almost 4 months now and i love it (though the suction was rough at the beginning and lots of learning curve). Now i'm wondering how the suction is on the Willow vs the Elvie? I heard that the Elvie is super gentle (kinda want to get it just to feel it 😅)

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

The Elvie suction is much gentler, yes! Especially in comparaison to the Willow 2.0. Of the 2, I do prefer the suction of the Elvie. It’s hard to describe, it’s probably the gentlest pump I’ve ever used though and I still get great output with it. I have a video coming out next week with lots more information on the Elvie! I’m also thinking about getting the Willow 3.0 to see what the suction is like on the new one, I have the 2.0 like you.

@JanTsCoL26 3 года назад

I'm only doing research at this point so I don't have any personal experience. But I wanted to point out that Elvie gives you the option of buying either a single pump or double. With the Willow, you don't have that option, you'd have to buy the whole set. For me, that's a pro for the Elvie with the option to get a single pump to try and have the option to buy a second one if needed. I thought that would be great for someone who's budget conscious and also don't necessarily know what their exact situation would be like post-partum. Thanks for making this great video! This has given me more insight into my research 🙂

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

Very true! In fact for me since I’m exclusively breastfeeding and mostly home with my baby, one would be enough. I’ve never actually pumped with both together, there hasn’t been a need. Thanks for sharing!

@irenejimenez8570 2 года назад

@cesiahyarett 3 года назад

I love your videos, this are very informative. I made my bf watch this one to choose which pump will work better for me. I currently have the spectra pink and omg I love it so far. My neighbor gave us this re used pumps the spectra pink and the spectra portable, i was using the portable for "convenience" and was only able to express 2oz from both breast. Until i saw your videos specially on reused pumps, I started yesterday to use the spectra pink and now im able to express more milk waay more milk. Definitely reused pumps go bad and I couldn't get as much milk. The pink spectra was reused aswell but not as much as the portable. Thank you for your videos.

@maddiemarie33345 3 года назад

Thank you for such a thorough review! This might sound like a stupid question but what is the best way to store breast milk with closed containment and not bags? I'm a full time working momma and work part from home and part from office and my plan is to pump regularly to create a steady supply for when my baby is in child care on days that I do work. I'm just not sure what the best way to go about using and storing milk from these is.

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

Totally!!! 🤣 Just had my 3rd recently.. so I feel that 💯

@samanthagould9136 2 года назад

This is such a good overview! Would it be appropriate to purchase only the Elvie or Willow for pumping? I've heard some moms get less milk from these compared to non-portable pumps. But I guess if a mom only bought, say, the Elvie, she wouldn't know the difference.

@ntmn8444 Год назад

I have heard the same. I’ve only seen people use these pumps while traveling, so it might not be a good idea to use these all the time.

@littlecookie318 3 года назад

So incredibly helpful. I thought Willow was the right choice for me but I’m leaning toward the Elvie. However when I spoke to a willow rep she recommended I get another brands flange as my size was below the smaller flanges threshold. Would that be the case for Elvie as well?

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

Yes, they both have the smallest flange size of 21mm. I’m a bit smaller than that too and have enjoyed pumping with the BeauGen cushions! Here’s a link if you want to see if they work for you.

@augustineevbakhare6546 2 года назад

I have both the elvie and the willow 3rd gen as well. I had issues with leaking with the elvie so the willow wins on that point for me since I was pumping at work. Also the suction on the willow feels a lot stronger at every level. seems like I get more stimulation and think it will better maintain my milk supply when I go back to work this time. Willow also has flange inserts if your nipple size is smaller than their 2 standard flange sizes. The only down sides to the willow for me is that it is more complicated to use and is louder but worth it for me due to increased mobility w/o leaks and better suction. The direct pump bags are super convenient as well.

@NewLittleLife 2 года назад

These are fantastic points on the two pumps. I completely agree!

@elzyanne7304 3 года назад

I’m currently looking for a hands free pump. I want to know if it’s worth the investment

@thickfitlaurentv5940 2 года назад

The willow also has a lot of issues and an “adjustment period” I wish you would have mentioned that. Also, wish I would’ve found you sooner. Do you have a video for your number one wearable recommendation? I have a willow and hate it. Looking for another but want to do allllll my research.

@ntmn8444 Год назад

For me, the willow is better. It’s a bit more expensive but being able to be in any position is important. I really need this pump bc I’m a flight attendant, and I want to be able to pump discreetly while working. I plan on also having a pump at home. This would be my pump exclusively for work.

@NewLittleLife Год назад

Great insight. Thanks!

@mecarini17 2 года назад

I am looking for some guidance. I make about 24-28 oz a day, I am 4 mpp and I pump for about 30-45 mins (except MOTN pump at 60 mins) I used the Medella pump in style and I notice milk does not start flowing really well until I get passed stimulation mode and into expression mode. I really want the Willow so I can be more Mobil for work and baby, but the fact that it doesn't leave expression mode till a certain mark makes me nervous. Do you think I could still get the Willow and not have an issue? or do you suggest Elvie in this case? Please someone help I am stuck :(

@shivsheehy 3 года назад

Do both pumps cater to ladies with a large breast size? I use 32mm flange for the spectra currently. Could I use the Elvie or Willow? Would they accommodate me comfortably?

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

Hmm.. good question. The largest flange size on either of these is 28mm although I personally think they run a bit big, you may email the company and see what they say! As far as the large breasts, either should work fine.

@felllindsey 2 года назад

My Elvie leaks a lot. It dosnt stop when it should, and if I move a certain way the container on the bottom seems to bend a little and it leaks. I just ordered the Willow so hopefully it works better for me. I have three kids, two in sports and other activities. I need something reliable, something I can pop in and use on the way to the next obligation, without worrying my short is going to get wet.

@blueeyed001 2 года назад

I bought the willow(2.0 used) I read that the 3.0 is better especially if you have low milk supply. I exclusively pumped with my daughter and I tried so hard for her to latch but I didn’t have the right tools or help.. I am now expecting my son (15 months later) and was curious on your opinion should I invest in the willow 3.0. I definitely had low milk supply and went through a lot of obstacles and I would love for this new journey be a little easier. Thanks for all your advice!!

@NewLittleLife 2 года назад

Did you love your willow? If so, sure maybe upgrade! If not, then perhaps invest in a new set up. Are you a working mom?

@ashleyohayre9577 3 года назад

Maybe I was using it wrong but in my experience this pump is not for those with inverted nipples it will tear you up. I have the 2.0 so maybe the 3.0 is better

@saraharndt4725 2 года назад

I haven't found any reviews that include the transition of pump to bottle... Can the bags for willow transition straight into a bottle system like kiinde? Or do we have to pour it into a separate bottle for feeding time?

I exclusively breastfeed and i return to work when my baby is 4mo. Do you know if the willow can remove all of my milk? Ill be pumping every 2 hours. I currently have the Elvis and i feel like it doesn’t ever completely empty my breasts like my medela pumps do.

My Elvie tends to leak. I’ve tried diff flanges and the beaugen cushions. Personally I find the Elvie is overrated. Agree with your review, with the Elvie you have to be pretty still.

They sent some new ones andddd it was the same thing. Every 4 minutes I have to stop, wipe the humidity and keep pumping. I want wack to my medela and I am just stuck pumping. Also with the elvie, if you have medium size to big boobs you almost have to hold them in a way.

How is your milk output for both pumps, and have you found a decrease in your milk supply using either as if it's not draining the breast completely? I've heard so many mixed reviews about each of these pumps.

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

I had the same/expected output with both of these pumps. I exclusively breastfeed, and just pump occasionally so I have not have any issues. It does seem to empty me pretty completely, although sometimes I have to empty it half way through if it’s over 5 oz.

@sabinabeltran4280 3 года назад

Hi Allison, I'm a new mommy and just gave birth this last Sunday. So I wanted to breastfeed my baby but unfortunately I had no colostrum coming out and so I just decided to bottle feed my baby since nothing was coming out. Now, my breasts are very tender and feel engorged. Could this mean I have milk coming in soon and if so what should I do to help extract it and possibly build up a stash?

@NewLittleLife 3 года назад

Yes, you likely have some milk there. Either feed your baby at the breast or use a breast pump! You can also search some videos on hand expression if you want, but that would be my third choice recommendation for you. You may also benefit from seeing a lactation consultant in your area! Good luck 💕

@carlywetherington6537 2 года назад

How is the consistency with suction for the willow? My main issue with the Elvie was the inconsistent suction. One session they’d work great the next session one pump wouldn’t have the best suction even when pulling all the parts off and refitting everything making sure everything was tight. I’d replace duckbills and valves and still have issues. Some days my bras would be fine others I’d have to wear the tightest bra I owned to make it have consistent suction. The pumps never seemed to offer the same amount of suction even when pumping at the same speed/power level. This time around I’m leaning towards the willow but I’m starting to wonder if this is just a flaw with wearable breast pumps.

@haleyeliza5978 2 года назад

I had this issue with the Willow!! That’s why I’m here for this video. I was hoping to hear Elvie would be better about that. The Willow is a nice pump. I have a love hate relationship with it because it frustrated me soooo much. I know I wouldn’t have committed to pumping for 6 months without the convenience of mobility, however, there was more trouble shooting than there should have been.

Says I pump 4 oz when I only pumped 2 on one breast. Totally off and totally waste of a bag - oz counting is useless in the app , totally useless. It’s so far off -DISCOMFORT.,suction is so strangely painful , yet my right breast pumps nothing out . It ruins my nipples and swells mine up so badly. - only 1 flange size. Elvie comes with multiple. I regret it Updates: For $600 , You get a really inconvenient inefficient pump . I hate it the longer I have it . It’s been a total of THREE WEEKS. The only benefit it encouraged me to breastfeed more
