haakaa Colostrum Collector Syringes Set Colostrum Harvesting Kit Include 2 Storage Cases and 2 Cotton Cloth Wipes to Collect Store and Feed Colostrum, 0.1oz/4ml,12pcs

This was great loved how easy it was to label, store and the option to pour is baby’s mouth directly !

I absolutely loved these for collecting colostrum before and after having my baby! I’m an over supplier by natural (forever grateful) of colostrum and milk. These work great for collecting colostrum, I would fill them, freeze them, push the colostrum-cicle out and store in breast milk bags in the freezer. Worked like a charm for me! Highly recommend!

So I haven't used these yet. They just arrived and I am impressed with the packaging. Each collector (4mL) is individually wrapped and pre-sterilised. They come in a hard plastic box for easy storage. They also come with a reusable cotton wipe and stick on labels that allow you to label with babys name, DoB, mothers name, amount of milk (in mL) and dates/times for expression and defrosting. Seems very useful and comprehensive if you plan to collect colustrum and take it with you to the hospital or something. The collectors feel like soft silicone, so they are different than hard plastic syringes. I will update about how well they collect and dispense once I use them in 3 months. I just wish they would be cheaper because I paid about $50 for 12 collectors. And other sellers were charging $60-70 for the same. Seems a bit overpriced but we will see how useful they are. Hopefully they are worth it because bulk syringes are way cheaper.

I love these it was my first time collecting colostrum at 36weeks today but managed to fill 2 of these and it was so easy to use worth every penny. However I found them on their site for 12.99 for 6.

I cannot imagine why anyone would have negative reviews for this product. Although I was determined to breastfeed regardless, the existence of products like this has greatly contributed to my somewhat new experience. I just had a baby 2 days ago. I breastfed 2 of his sisters before him and the experiences were pretty different. The first girl I had cracked nipples that resolved after about a day. The other baby I had zero issues whatsoever. With THIS baby I have nipples so badly torn that the pain radiates from armpit to armpit EVERY time he suckles. It’s excruciatingly painful, and I don’t wish to endure it I’m sorry. I decided to pump and feed him until my nipples heal. I’m guessing the issue is the latch, but I still have to see the ibclc to confirm whether it’s that or tongue/lip ties. In the meantime I needed a RIGHT NOW solution that both exclusively feeds my baby my milk, and will not confuse him so he will want to latch back on to me once my nipples heal and we resolve the issue we’re having. I got these from my registry. I had no idea initially that they were soft, SUPER bonus. So I’ve been pumping into a bottle and just sucking the milk into the syringes. You just pinch the syringe and the milk comes in. Feeding the baby from them has been really easy too. He accepts drops at a time, and will initially put up a fuss because it isn’t a breast he can suckle at I guess, but ultimately he gets the milk and is satisfied. The drawback to my purpose for using these is that you will need to fill up up to 20 syringes for one full feeding. I’m personally ok with that, but someone else may not be. This route is more time consuming than say just pumping and feeding from a bottle, but I’m only doing it for maybe 2 days. My nipples have healed a bit within the past few hours already!
