At first, it was a lot of technology for a breast pump. I was just used to putting them on, filling up and taking them off to pour. With the Willow, I had to make sure everything was inline, have the app open, the valves were closed (I bought the reusable pump containers), oh and the flip to finish was a disaster! It was a lot at first, but when I finally watched the videos and really slowed down, everything came together. My nipples are not sore because of the stimulation, basically getting prepared. Once the pumping actually starts, takes about 3-5 mins to fill up! Before it was like 7-10 mins, maybe longer. I am not wasting any milk and I don't mind pumping when it is time. I am only breast feeding but also work full time so I pump 2-4 times a day at work.
I know some moms are probably scared at the cost but they are totally worth it. I promised myself I would buy a better pump for my second and I am so glad that I did. Insurance even covered some of the cost!
