What is Milk To Go?
Milk To Go! Is a multicenter prospective study that evaluates the outcomes of Willow Inc. wearable breast pumps in helping lactating persons achieve their lactation goals.
Who can participate?
Housestaff at all our participating sites may participate, including those at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas University Medical Center, University of Michigan, Indiana University School of Medicine and Providence Health. Some of our sites are also enrolling medical students and staff.
How can I participate?
With our collaborators at Willow Inc, participants in our study will receive a Willow 360 or Willow Go breast pump. They will use the breast pump as an adjunct to other pumps and/or nursing throughout their lactation journey. We will assess the outcomes of the pump in helping lactating persons reach their goals by completing an intake survey, monthly surveys and an exit survey. At the conclusion of the study, you can keep your pump!
