The traditional constant pumping action required for manual/ non-electrical pumps isn't necessary with the Haakaa although our customers have found a squeeze every now and then can help to produce a letdown. If you have a hand free gently massage your breast or apply a warm compress to improve your milk flow.Depending on what your needs are, a haakaa may or may not be able to replace an electric pump. I’d say for most mothers, the haakaa alone won’t be able to serve your pumping needs. If you plan on pumping at work, or plan on being away from your baby at any time, you’ll likely want to have an electric pump in addition to the haakaa. The haakaa is great for collecting milk during a letdown, but it’s not exactly capable of “emptying” a breast. The good news is, an electric breast pump won’t break the bank.

Overall, the Haakaa was an invaluable tool for me during my breastfeeding journey with my second child, and I truly wished I had had one while nursing my first. The Haakaa did wonders to relieve the pain of engorgement in the early days. And thanks to this little pump, I saved enough milk that I didn’t have to take out my larger electric pump until my son was about 6 months old. Plus, I spent less money on breast pads, since I caught any excess in the Haakaa. It's made from 100 percent medical-grade silicone. And the best part? It's all one piece, making it super easy to set up (just grab it and pop it on your breast!) and clean (it's dishwasher safe, or can be sterilized with boiling water). Squeeze the base to suction it to your breast. Once suctioned, milk will begin to flow — you can simply leave the pump alone and let it work.

Squeeze the pump at its widest part (where the milk will be collected) and bring it up to the breast. Easy to clean and washable: 100% dishwasher safe, can be boiled and sterilized using steam sterilizers. While it’s straightforward to use, the shape of the Haakaa means you need to have your whole boob out to use it, so it’s best used alone, with people you’re very comfortable with or in conjunction with a hands-free pumping bra.Note: I used the Haakaa to relieve engorgement because I knew I needed to remove some milk for comfort. I didn’t want to pump for fear of removing too much milk. Leaving the Haakaaon just through the initial letdown was the perfect solution for me.

I was usually able to remove the clog within a few hours when I combined sunflower lecithin with pumping as much as possible. No noise. Electric pumps are efficient, but they are so noisy! The Haakaa is much better for not disturbing your baby when in use and for use when watching TV so the noise isn’t drowned out. Clean after each use. We strongly recommend cleaning and sterilising your Haakaa Breast Pump with any steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. Do not use any bleach-based agents or sterilising tablets to clean this product. Do not use UV sterilisers to clean this product as it may impact the lifespan of your pump. But it is soo convenient to use (especially at home) because you don't need to prepare so much stuff before pumping.

Yesss! This is the only thing that works for me when I get them!” FAQ: Where can I buy a Haakaa breast pump? If you think about how when butter is cold, it is solid. When it is warmed up, it turns into a liquid. The same concept applies to the fat in your milk. Adding heat will help to break up the solid milk and turn it into a liquid so it can flow. The Haakaa original has not been replaced by the 3rd generation Haakaa however there are a few key differences between the two. You can use the Haakaawithout nursing. You can use it while pumping, or if you’re feeling extremely full, you can use it by itself. I have personally had success using the haakaa on it’s own. I have suffered from an oversupply, and just the thought of my baby can give me a letdown. In fact, the haakaa was vital in helping me manage my oversupply and regulate my milk supply. Don’t be discouraged if using a Haakaawithout nursing doesn’t work for you, as our breasts and milk supplies are all different. What if the Haakaa’s not Working? The Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump is made from 100% food-grade silicone, making it a more eco-friendly and safe option that won't leak plastic microparticles into your breastmilk. It fits perfectly into any handbag or baby bag and is the perfect gift for a mum to be.
