Starting February 16th, parents will be able to scoop up items from the new WildBird Baby SleepTime Collection—including linen crib sheets, quilted toddler pillows and blankets, and linen sleep sacks. Then, on March 16th, WildBird Baby will roll out a trio of products from the brand-new PlayTime Collection, which features a quilted play mat, linen and maple ring teether, and adorable linen loveys. 

Just like the main line collection, the new WildBird Baby items were inspired by founder Tayler Golden‘s day-to-day experience of raising her own three young children—Remy, Sage, and Sunny. Each new product comes in a beautiful array of dreamy colors that will seamlessly blend into any home (not to mention, match your WildBird sling!). Mark your calendar, and take a sneak peek of the new WildBird Baby collection in our slideshow below!

Built with modern moms in mind, the Motif Luna boasts a compact, quiet, and sleek design—including soft LED lights that are just bright enough for nighttime pumping sessions—two modes of milk expression, and a closed system (which means no milk or condensation ends up in the tubes), amongst other special features.

One of the staffers at MOTHER tried out the pump herself (after using wearable pump designs) and has found Motif‘s claim to be true. Although using the hospital-grade pump does require being plugged in (while offering portability of a car adapter for on-the-go pumping), she’s now pumping for less time (in her case 13-18 minutes) and getting more milk in that amount of time (6 ounces with the Luna, compared to 4 ounces with other wearable models).

And her experience isn’t unique. Motif Medical recently worked with C + R Research on a study that tracked 20 moms around the U.S., asking them to switch to the Motif Luna for two weeks and report back. The moms overwhelmingly favored the Luna over two other leading pump styles currently on the market, with 9 out of 10 mothers expressing that Luna‘s performance trumped the others. Meanwhile, 5 out of 6 moms surveyed said they got more milk in less time with the Luna. The group included a mix of first-time moms, veteran moms, SAHMs, moms working outside the home, and a few on maternity leave. All of the mothers used a breast pump a minimum of 4 1/2 times a week.

Other rave reviews that came from the study: The Luna is comfortable to use and doesn’t pinch one’s nipples like other models, the Luna has just the right amount of variety in functions, it’s easy to assemble, and of course the biggie—the Luna has the ability to express equal or more milk in a shorter amount of time compared to other pumps.
