Haakaa Manual Breast Pump for Breastfeeding Mothers (Gray), 4oz/100ml

Haakaa is a New Zealand family-owned baby brand that provides parents with safe, natural, non-toxic and green baby products online. Breastfeeding Top 4 The Haakaa Gen. 1 Silicone Breast Pump & Silicone Cap Set is a one-piece silicone breast pump designed to accompany you on your breastfeeding journey.

The Haakaa Pump is made of food-grade silicone, which is extra-soft, skin-friendly and safe. Simply squeeze and attach it to your breast to start drawing out your milk with natural suction. After each use, wash with warm soapy water and rinse well. Thoroughly clean by boiling water for 2-3 minutes or steam (after the last use of the day).

The Haakaa Pump is a great breastfeeding partner. It stimulates secretion and pumps out breastmilk, helping to relieve breast engorgement and avoid breast clogs. It can also help pull out flat nipples before breastfeeding.

Attach the pump to the opposite breast while breastfeeding to catch your letdown or leakage. Use the Haakaa Strap to protect it from getting kicked off, offering a comfortable experience. The petite size fits perfectly into most baby bags or handbags, and the upgraded cap provides a leak-proof seal, keeping your pump hygienic between uses.

To increase your milk supply, ensure your baby latches correctly, increase breastfeeding and pumping, maintain skin-to-skin contact with your baby, try a hot shower, hot compress, and massage, and consume milk-boosting foods while getting full rest.

If you're only collecting a small amount of breastmilk, ensure the pump is securely attached with strong suction. Try using a warm compress, pumping in the shower, pumping first thing in the morning, and gently massaging your breast to stimulate more milk expression.

If your Haakaa pump hurts to use, the suction may be too strong. Try lightly squeezing the base and attaching it to your breast, making sure your nipple is in the center and not touching the sides of the pump. The more air gets squeezed out, the stronger the suction will be.

To address a strong plastic smell, make a paste of baking soda and water, rub it all over the pump, and then soak it in a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and warm water for about 30-60 minutes. Then clean the pump thoroughly with warm soapy water and finally, boil it in hot water for 2-3 minutes.

If you have larger breasts or a high milk supply, the 150ml/5oz Haakaa Breast Pump may be more suitable, as it offers a larger capacity and stronger suction with an upgraded suction base for stable use.

The easiest time to express milk using a breast pump is in the morning. For the rest of the day, it's best to express 30 minutes to 1 hour after feeding your baby. You can also catch letdown with Haakaa from the other breast while your baby is feeding.
