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

Product Information

Place the pump flange over your nipple – make sure your nipple is centred comfortably in the neck of the pump. When you breastfeed, both breasts letdown at the same time — you can’t exactly tell one to wait its turn. With our helpful silicone pumps, you will forget about painful sensations while expressing milk from the breast for good.

The material is soft silicone, and comfortable against the skin, but the suction of the pump can be very painful. For mams who can only afford a single breast pump (as let’s be honest, most the good double pumps in the UK cost a fortune). As for detergents, Haakaa recommends its Dish Soap Bar, but you’re free to use any gentle, mild detergent/dish soap you have to hand. If your baby is unable to nurse directly during the first few hours, it is best to hand express the colostrum for them. Your breast milk can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours but will last even longer in colder environments.

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.

Building a breast milk stash can be super useful, especially if you’d like to introduce a bottle to your bub.I have also heard from moms with lower milk supplies that, because the Haakaa doesn’t have a motor, it sometimes lacks the power they need to draw out a sufficient amount of milk. The Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump is very portable as it is just made of silicone plastic, so it does not have to be connected to a power lead, pump tubes or anything else. Alternatively, if you are away from your baby, you can gently massage your breast with your hand or place a warm washcloth on your breast to help your milk begin to flow. Easy to use, simply suction to your breast and let the pump do the work for you as it draws your milk using suction. Depending on the temperature where you live, it may be easier to combine a couple of pumping sessions worth of your milk at room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.

After expressing for 30 minutes, I got about a quarter of the milk I’d get with my medical grade Ardo Alyssa pump. Silicone is an absorbent material and can absorb the colours and smells of substances it comes in contact with. If your products still look and feel fine after briefly coming in contact with a bleach-based cleaner, then they are still safe for you to use. I have been using the Haakaa once a day, whenever I could sneak a few minutes of quiet time with just Bobby and I. Attaching this pump and using it to express can be easy and comfortable if you get it right, or it can be very painful if not attached in the correct way.The Haakaa Breast Pump is perfect for long-distance trips, planes, car rides, family BBQs or anywhere you would like to express discreetly, silently and quickly. 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. Group Black's collective includes Essence Opens a new window, The Shade Room Opens a new window and Naturally Curly Opens a new window. 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.

Travelling – if you don’t have much room, the Haakaa pump is totally flexible and will fit in the smallest of spaces.

Some mums have said that boiling the pump in water with a touch of white vinegar can help improve the clarity of the pump, so you may wish to give this a go.
