haakaa Manual Breast Pump with Suction Bottom and Purple Stopper (4oz/100ml)

I love my haakaa. Love it so much I ended up buying a second one so that I could go longer between cleaning. It sticks right on to whatever breast your baby isn’t feeding on and catches the milk that comes out during let down. I’ve been on maternity leave and feeding my baby on demand from the breast, so I don’t often have time to pump between feedings, but this has helped me to build up a stash in case I need to leave a bottle while I go to an appointment or for when I return to work. I’m able to catch between .5 and 1 oz every time I use it which may not sound like a ton but adds up and really helps. The only issue I’ve ever had is that if my baby is super fussy while I’m feeding her she kicks at it and can knock it off, but I just don’t use it for those sessions when she’s fussy. Even just using it when she’s calm (and when I actually remember to grab it) I’ve gotten a lot of extra milk this way! At first I wasn’t sure how to store such small amounts and ended up wasting some bags freezing an ounce or so at a time lol, but now what I do is use it, pour it into a bottle in the fridge (or just stick the haakaa in the fridge if I don’t need to clean it right away to reuse it), then the second time I use it I pour the original bottle into a bag, pour the new milk into another bottle, and repeat throughout the day- when I have four ounces or so I freeze the bag! You just have to remember to let the amount from each session cool separately in the fridge before combining it. It only catches foremilk so if you’re worried about a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and are able to fully pump even once a day or every few days just combine it with what you fully pumped before storing it. Oh, and it’s dishwasher safe which is a huge plus!

I am on my second child, have pumped with Medela Symphony and PISA with first baby, as well as a Willow with this baby. I didn’t realize how much damage using the wrong pump or incorrectly using a pump could do. Nursing was never comfortable with my first child due to injury from pumping too long to create a supply for returning to work. This time working with a lactation consultant, even with some supply issues due to a sleepy baby, I learned that nursing was going better without pumping in the first few weeks. The Haakaa was suggested for gentle pumping with nursing. I watched a few videos, received it overnight with Prime, tried it this morning and had no problems. I can’t believe how much time, pain, tears and dollars I wasted when I could have bought this. My biggest problem will be keeping my 3yo away because she thinks it’s beautiful and wants to play with it.Pros: gentler than other non-hospital grade pumps I’ve used. Worked well when used while breastfeeding on other side. I have a 3week old, had milk slow to come in and got 3oz total after morning nursing both sides. Passive suction works pretty well, essentially like a Jackson Pratt drain if you have a medical background.Most affordable type of pump I’m aware of.Flower plug is super cute and does actually work when turned upside down.Cons: an active baby could knock it off of you by kicking.Probably less effective than other pumps at removing milk, especially if going back to work or not simultaneously nursing. I had some supply/baby weight gain issues early and this would not have fixed those.Not as discreet as other pumps for use in car, etc.Easy to tip over. Get one with the suction base.Overall this is a wonderful tool for me right now, with an established supply and a goal of building a store for night feeds by partner and return to work.Do yourself a favor and buy this sooner on your journey than I did.

This is a breastfeeding must have!! I wish I had discovered this sooner.I can easily collect over 10oz of breastmilk a day by simply using this pump while nursing my baby.Keep in mind I do not leak on my off breast when nursing. Due to how it works it will work regardless. It stays on wonderfully even with a wiggly baby.Concept: (This will not replace a hand pump or electric pump.) The Haakaa is ideal for using while nursing your baby. You put it on the breast your baby isnt feeding on. It uses suction combined with the baby stimulation letdown to get your milk flowing and collects it for you.How to Use/Placement: To attach flip back the top (shown in last picture) and place centered on breast. Then squeeze out the air and let it suck up breast tissue. The flip the top back to normal position.Keep in mind the pump can be placed and should be placed based on your own nipples. I have to use it somewhat sideways to ensure it doesn't suction the side of my nipple into the side. It's important to pay attention or it may cause discomfort. However once you figure out what works for you it's super easy.While using as it fills with milk the appearance of being smooshed on the sides will disappear that means you need to flip it up again and squeeze more air out. This will allow for you to get more milk.Features: Not only does this pump have the great suction cup to help it stand up nicely. It also has the stopper which is a must have unless you like messes and wasted milk. It also is built with a "spout" to help milk easily pour into a freezer bag or bottle.Cleaning: Your bottle brush perfectly fits inside the pump. Use your bottle nipple brush to clean the milk stopper. You can sterilize it just like any other pump part.

Extremamente útil para recolher o leite que vai caindo da mama. Normalmente, uso na mama na qual não estou a dar de mamar. Também uso quando o bebé está com dificuldade na pega e quero que o mamilo fique mais saliente.

Para extracciones durante el camino o un viaje está genial también para el otro pecho si tienes fuga al amamantar del otro lado

Muy caro para lo que es
