Great product; I was looking for convenience and performance and this pump offers both.
I needed to exclusively pump as my baby was premature, these were amazing at allowing me to get other stuff done around the house. I started with a third hospital grade pump but hated having to be stuck in one place, I get just as pumped output with the night owl as I did with the hospital grade. I also take these when I’m out- having to pump every 3 hrs, this allowed me to go out and pump on the go. Worth the investment!
I was unsure how well these pumps would work for me as I have large breasts (14GG). However after using them for a week I’ve been really surprised at how well they fit in my bra and are truly hands free. I’ve tried hands free bras in the past but they never worked for me, I always had to hold it in the right spot.
Whilst I need a stronger level of suction than with my spectra the output of milk achieved is comparable it just takes 20 minutes of pumping instead of 10. But I don’t mind because I’m able to get things done in the meantime. It’s also great at my older kids activities as I can pump and carry on with conversations, the pumps are quiet enough that you can’t hear them in cafes/gyms etc.
The silicone flange feels soft and warm against my skin and creates a good suction to stop leaks. The parts are also really quick and easy to clean. The large capacity is great as well, I don’t have to worry about pausing all the time to collect the milk.
Photo is from 20 minutes of double pumping. The smaller side had been pumped empty 2 hours prior so there was a bit less.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with our wearable pumps! We're so happy to hear this!
You can shave a bit more time off your pumping sessions with a more precise fit using a flange insert. Pop over to our size guide to find your perfect match :) If you’re using a 24mm flange or larger with your Spectra, this will likely affect your size with The Night Owl too - so it’s really important to size both pumps separately.

Used from day1 post birth and it’s the easiest pump I’ve ever had to use and clean. I’m able to get over 100mls in less than 10mins only a few days post birth… it’s a game changer through this busy time.
So convenient to be able to move around while pumping. Lifesaver!
Super convenient and great strength allows me to actually pump whilst doing things and is effective
I'm currently feeding twins by exclusively pumping. I noticed my supply was starting to drop as I didn't have time to sit down and pump (between the twins, my 4yo and jobs that need doing). Just 2 days of using mumma owl my supply was back to normal! I have more freedom to be out for longer without stresing about pumping or finding somewhere to plug in. I'll recommend to everyone wanting to invest in a wearable 🥰
I’ve been exclusively pumping using this pump for about 6 months now and would choose the same one over and over again. It makes such a difference being able to pump on the go and I find I express the same amount of volume as when using the hospital Medela pumps. I’ve had to replace a few parts but that’s to be expected and have had wonderful interactions with the night owl team
We had a Medela pump in Hospital and a smaller "portable" one on loan from a friend. Because this portable pump was too cumbersome to use, my wife had to sit down somewhere to pump, couldn't do anything but listen to the pump and it was leaking after cleaning quite often, we decided to give the Mumma Owl (pair) a go.
It is not cheap but also not overly expensive compared to others. We have used them now for about a month and the performance is great, there are no leaks, they are really portable and don't have any hoses hanging off. The cleaning and sterilizing is very easy as the 4 relevant components come out easily and can be placed in our UV sterilizer/dryer. After a week I could strip/reassemble them with the lights out.
We probably need a few months to see how the components deteriorate in the sterilizer and due to cleaning and how the build in battery behaves long term. Main concern is the valve and the shield, but until now there are no signs of wear and the performance seems the same as on day 1. Although we must be getting close to having to order a few spare parts.
The charging port is a USB-C which makes it easy to find a charger somewhere to top up the battery if needed.
We bought them with one reducer but using that caused some irritation and wasn't necessary, so that's not in use anymore.
I noticed that my 20 min pumping session was not producing my normal amount and i even started to doubt my milk supply however before jumping to conclusions i went onto the website and realised that my pump parts were due for a change. I’ve since only used them once but i can confirm that my pump is back to its normal output. I love my pump and recommend it to every mum that i meet now. Thank you for making such a wonderful product that makes being a mum of 2 much easier!
Very happy with this pump. It offers convenience, comfort, and efficiency. Love the fact it is hands-free and portable allowing for multitasking without being tethered to a stationary pump. This has been such a worthwhile purchase and I highly recommend.
Don't listen to anybody who says wearable pumps aren't any good. These are absolutely amazing. The output is the same (if not higher) than my 'hospital grade' corded pump but these are a hundred times more convenient. Because pumping is far less of a chore I find my supply has increased as I'm naturally pumping more. I was about to throw in the towel and quit pumping until I bought these pumps. Thank you so much!!!!
So glad I bought these instead of a regular double pump. I get a similar amount to what I was getting with the hospital grade medela. Easy to clean and I like that they stand up on their base. Haven't had any leaking issues. Initially had nipple pain using these and could only go up to level 3 or 4, but with a tiny amount of coconut oil around the nipple I can comfortably go up to the max level now. So happy with this purchase.

Thanks again for your support and kind words - it truly means the world to us! 💜 x
Works as well as advertised. Even better actually.
It is so good having a hands free pump! Now I can move around the house doing everything that needs to be done while bubs is asleep - I'm no longer trapped at the wall holding the pump in place on Mt chest. This pump gets the same amount of milk from me as the hospital grade medela symphony and is so much easier. I love it. Only improvement would be to have a longer battery life, but I understand that's not possible on such a compact device.
Love the convenience of this pump, I have a 2.5 year old as well as a newborn and I just didn’t have time to sit and pump with my old one. Having this is so easy and before I know it it’s done and I’ve not wasted any time.
Works really well, I have E cup breasts.
Im a FTM and love the Owl V2. My supply dropped a little around the 3m mark of my bubba and I was given the Medela Symphony Plus by my LC while I waiting for the correct flange size to come from TNO. Once I started using TNO I had just as much output of milk as the Medela which is a hospital pump but now had the freedom of pumping on the go. I could also go up quite high with the suction on the Medela and can only go to a level 4 with TNO. I wanted to give TNO pumps a good go before writing this review and I can 100% recommend. The only thing I can say is I wish i purchased the newer one as its not as bulky as the V2. I also struggling to get my nipple directly in the flange but that is a me problem as I cant see exactly where they go with this pump. Other than that very happy, easy to use and easy to clean.
best purchase i ever made
i can do what i want and still pump
i am washing dishes and pumping to say the least LOL
This pump is super easy to use and very comfortable. I purchased this as another pump I had was not big enough in the flange size. Wish I had bought this originally.
