Haakaa Manual Breast Pump with Base 4 Fl Oz/100ml+Lid

This is a great alternative for pumping. Easy to use and store breast milk. Easy to clean!

I can’t stop loving this. It’s outstanding. I attach it while breastfeeding and it helps me empty my breast fully and in turn potentially helps you produce more milk. It’s not a rule because with my first I didn’t produce as much milk but the haakaa was just so portable that it felt better to use my haakaa than an electric pump I would even get more let downs. With my second I use. Portable electric pump but I still swear by the haakaa you can attach it before your baby goes on first thing in the morning to reduce the early morning fullness. I use it all day long and again I love that it’s a one part to clean. I only use the electric pump in the middle of the night while my baby sleeps, and on the go. But the haakaa is amazing. It lasts about three months while running it through the dishwasher. It still works amazing but does come off if your baby is messing with it.

It has been a great tool for my breastfeeding journey. I 100% recommended this product.

Wow!! This thing is amazing! I have had babies in all of the last three decades and am only just now experiencing the Haakaa. I received mine yesterday afternoon and have already collected 5 ounces passively, and last night, hubby gave baby his first bottle! I’m 4 weeks postpartum and had only briefly tried to pump the other day with no success, but I wasn’t too worried about it. Now I’m passively collecting ounces at a time! This thing works better than any electric pump I’ve experienced over the last 20 years.

I used this mainly to catch letdown on the opposite side while nursing, and it worked really well for that purpose. It’s an easy, hands-free way to build up a small fridge stash without having to pump separately. The suction is strong enough to stay in place most of the time, and the lid is a nice bonus for storage.That said, if your baby is squirmy (like mine!), you’ll want to keep a hand nearby — it can be knocked off easily if bumped. Still, it’s a great, low-effort tool to make the most of every feeding.

Has increased my supply!Not an electric pump replacement, but for those people who aren’t huge producers and are pumping in addition to breastfeeding to increase or maintain supply, I think you owe it to yourself to try this, since you can take advantage of letdown while feeding and the baby doing a better job removing milk than a pump.Before using this, I was using a double electric breast pump 4-5 times a day and doing combo breastfeeding and bottle feeding. I was always stressing about not pumping enough and my supply dropping. Since using the haakaa on one side while breastfeeding, I’ve been able to discontinue pumping (baby around 2mos old) and am storing at least 1 6oz freezer bag of milk each day. I never imagined this would be possible for me!I have one breast that makes significantly less than the other and I would struggle to get one oz from that side with the double electric pump going for 20-25 min - while massaging, to top things off! This was during a pumping session where the baby was bottle fed. I was barely keeping up with what the baby needed, and the chafing sucked.. Using the Haakaa I collect MORE milk than with pumping, while also feeding the baby at the same time so I can store the Haakaa milk instead of using for the next feeding. No more chafing, no more pumping dread or having to ask hubby to watch the baby while I pump. I could feel my breasts getting more full between feedings in response to starting Haakaa use.Love being able to control the suction. If baby is hungrier I’ll suction less on the first side to “leave” more for her or if she seems almost done I’ll try to get it all (trying to maintain/increase supply). I will say the suction on me doesn’t seem strong enough to hold for more than a few seconds, or maybe it’s my lotion or that I don’t like it on that tight. Especially with how much the baby moves/kicks I don’t trust it hands-free.Also be aware of the foremilk/hindmilk mix as others have mentioned and don’t feed baby just the foremilk. The Haakaa does seem to collect the hindmilk drops which ooze out slower. Just have to leave it on longer.Lastly, the wider base seems like a necessary feature. I’ve gotten close to spilling so many times, especially during those late-night feedings!

Definitely would recommend for first time Mom‘s by your bedsidefor in the night or during the day. this is a very quick easy option for quick relief!

The Haaka collector is SO helpful for breastfeeding moms. Whether you’re using it to manually express breastmilk, or only as a letdown collector, it comes in handy to have at all times. There is strong suction to eliminate the need for holding it in place, and the suction can be adjusted by hand depending on comfort and what it’s being used for. The material is so easy to clean after use and is thick and sturdy. I absolutely love the suction cup portion at the bottom of the collector to easily prevent spills, because no mom wants to see collected milk go to waste due to an accidental knock. The cover is also so helpful to have, whether you are interrupted while feeding, or want to store in the refrigerator for a brief period of time before using- it helps to prevent contamination and spills.
