Haakaa Silicone Milk Collector, 75 ml Capacity

Product Information

This depends on how full my breasts are and if I’m not using a haakaa on the other side while I’m feeding. She still carries a lot of pain with her about this experience, and so desperately wants a different story with her new baby. All of her fears of repeated low supply are now being realised, and it can be very hard, though also very confusing, as she clearly has all of this milk that she has expressed! The one-piece design attaches to your breast with suction and sits securely and discreetly in your bra. Made out of the same materials as all of the other milk collectors mentioned so far, their soft silicone backs and BPA and phthalate-free PP construction make sure that they apply nicely on top of your nipples and provide a soft, chafe-free experience.

Yes, I think it’s a brilliant tool to have in my toolbox as a lactation consultant, but I have also seen it cause some pretty big problems. The Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector comes in direct contact with our breast milk, so proper hygiene is essential to protect our babies from any harmful bacteria. The best part about them isn’t all of that though, it’s the added air vent at the top of the breast shells that help keep the air circulating to prevent excess moisture from accruing around the nipple, thus helping to prevent nipple rashes and other problems from occurring. Haakaa is a New Zealand eco baby brand, most known for the popular and best selling Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump. If you’re in a situation like this, get a hold of a Lactation Consultant IBCLC as soon as you can, and have faith.Gently squeeze the base of the Haakaa, place it over your nipple, and release the squeeze to create a gentle suction. The only downside is that they don’t provide the constant pressure that helps ease breast engorgement by draining excess milk off a bit quicker. We recommend the Haakaa Double Ended Cleaning Brush which is perfectly sized to throughly clean your Haakaa products. I like to cover up so I put the ladybug silicone milk collector in while she’s feeding on the other side and I’m able to be discreet. There are only two pieces to clean so no need to worry about losing a part during the cleaning process.

LEAK PROTECTION: Our slip-proof silicone cups keep Elvie Catch secure, and helps prevents leaks while collecting up to 1 oz/30ml of milk on each side.

Do keep in mind to not put them the wrong way round and to keep the vent facing upwards, otherwise, you might get a nasty surprise when you realize all your milk has started leaking downwards through the vent.

We teach hand expression as an option to deal with pressure and discomfort instead, which should only be required for a very short period of time.Established in 2015, we are an Australian family run small business committed to providing you with trusted and high quality products that support and nurture the special bond between mother and baby.
