What does New Little Life do?

Our main education & lead gen platform is the New Little Life YouTube Channel EVERY WEEK! Content focused on breast pumps, pumping, and supporting working moms.

Allison designed a testing device (the BPVMS) and tested over 100+ breast pumps. Gathering data to pair with user experience to discover the most extensive and objective data on current breast pumps available.

Allison is requested often to speak at conferences, as a guest on podcasts, or teach mother/baby groups. She has been requested as a speaker internationally and is a leading expert in the field of breast pumps and pumping support.

After conducting pilot testing on over 50 breast pumps with a custom designed Breast Pump Vacuum Monitoring System, we will use the graphs and data gathered to better understand the differences between pumps and which are most effective for specific pumping scenarios. We will dive into the science of breast pumps, the practical use of different types of pumps, and clinical aspects of counseling pumping parents.
