haakaa Manual Breast Pump with Suction Base and Silicone lid Set 4oz/100ml

Product Information

The discreet, one-piece design attaches securely to your breast and collects any breast milk that would otherwise be lost in a nursing pad. If you express milk just before a feed, there may be less for the baby – which is why it is recommended to wait an hour after pumping to feed. If you have chosen to use a breast pump to complement your breastfeeding, it is widely recommended that you wait a few weeks after giving birth before you start pumping.

Once the pump is secure and comfortable, apply suction by squeezing the base of the pump to start the flow of milk. Forget expensive electric breast pumps that are difficult to use and impossible to clean – the haakaa breastpump doesn’t require any cords or assembly, smooth inside and extremely easy to clean that by simply boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. Then I watched some YouTube videos and could see how it worked and that sometimes you need to reposition a couple of times first and thought I would try it again.One user suggested that the Haakaa silicone pump isn’t ideal as a sole pump but is better for catching let down milk when feeding your child. It’s super easy to sterilise our Haakaa pumps – because they are made entirely of food grade silicone, you can boil them in water for 2-3 minutes. It’s also incredibly lightweight and you can take it anywhere as it's compact and small enough to fit into your baby changing bag for pumping on the move. Our tester found that, while the Haakaa is comfortable initially, it becomes uncomfortable when worn for extended periods or used very frequently. Unboxing the Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump is simple and quick, as it comes wrapped in tissue paper and it’s all ready to go out of the box.

It sounds like you may have too much suction strength on as it shouldn't be painful on your nipples at all. The double leak-proof stopper and lid, suction base and clip-on lanyard protect against accidental spills – to ensure your baby receives it all. We understand the struggle, having gone through the journey ourselves, but we also know how rewarding it is at the end too.Recommended by nursing moms, magazines, celebrities, doulas and lactation consultants, just make sure you are getting only the original silicone breast pumps of haakaa international brand. There are also 2 tips on how to get a better expressing experience with the pump; one is to use a warm flannel to encourage let down and the second explains how to get more suction from the pump, which is useful.

for the 100ml version, I’d say the Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump is great value for money as it is affordable and does work when it comes to silently expressing milk. Mum’s breasts come in all kind of sizes, which is why we have designed our Haakaa Breast Pump flange to fit all kinds of breasts! However if you express exclusively or regularly I wouldn’t expect the Haakaa manual breast pump to replace your electric pump entirely. It’s best to avoid going longer than 5-6 hours without pumping during the first few months – unfortunately, this means that you will probably have to wake up in the middle of the night to pump! Swapping over can be a bit tricky, especially if you need to empty the Haakaa before re-attaching and need to juggle a hungry or sleepy baby too.Furthermore, you can multi-purpose the pump by swapping out the pump flange for another interchangeable attachment like our Sippy Bottle Spout , Anti-Colic Nipple , Feeding Spoon Dispenser or Sealing Disks .

Sometimes silicone can act like a magnet and attract its surroundings or absorb smells, colours etc.

So much so that I was able to take it on my first night out away from my daughter and it fit easily in my small ‘going out bag’, something no other breast pump I’ve seen could do.
