Haakaa Silicone Milk Collector, 75 ml Capacity

Product Information

This can be really discreet. It’s kind of similar compared to the Elvie where you could just put it inside of your bra. That is what the ladybug silicone milk collector is for. Yes, we recommend cleaning your ladybug milk collector after each use with a bottle brush and hot soapy water and allowing it to air dry. You can also sterilize it by boiling it in water for a few minutes. I also have personally used a bottle sterilizer to clean my breastfeeding supplies as well. Can You Wear the Haakaa Ladybugs to Sleep? A haakaa milk collector is an excellent tool for moms who have extra milk when breastfeeding and often find themselves leaking spontaneously.

When I come, I see a baby who is thriving, but a mama who is in a lot of distress. Every time they try to breastfeed, their baby either pushes the breast away, arches their body away, and just refuses to latch. If they are still latching, then they only latch for a moment before then pulling off abruptly, crying in distress and then refusing to relatch. Mums in this situation often tell me that they feel such a strong sense of rejection and such deep sadness, and feel totally helpless. Milk is in there, they know it, but they can’t get their baby to take it. Bubba is crying, mama is crying, the mum feels she has no option but to then get the bottle of milk and feed her bubba this way. Milk is left in her breast, and her supply really does start to now go down. It’s a really tough, emotional situation. It was the best thing ever, I wish I found it for my first baby. I just put it on when feeding when I was at home. It meant that a rarely ever needed to actually pump to build a stash for the freezer." (Mumsnetter Jinglebellsoncake)

About Mumsnet Reviews

The difference between these and the regular shells is the addition of a plug for the air vent. This acts as an added safety valve for when the milk collectors might get a bit too close to full capacity. If you want to extract more milk than the natural lactation process, our Ladybug can help you to do just that! Simply press it to your breast, and you will feel light suction as the Ladybug gently maximises the amount of breast milk leakage it catches as you carry on with your day. This allows you to save every drop of precious liquid gold, helping you to build up a stash of breast milk between breastfeeding or pumping sessions without any extra effort. The Ladybug will only collect milk that would have leaked anyway. It won't draw out any extra milk. Compared to traditional nursing pads, the Haakaa Milk Collector has a larger capacity, holding up to 2.5 oz/75 ml of milk! That’s like finding hidden treasure in the sea of nursing supplies. The Haakaa Milk Collector is portable and has small feet on the bottom to stand upright on any flat surface, preventing spills after use. Once you have finished collecting your letdown, open the plug on the top and safely pour out your milk into a container or bottle.

Plus, using the ladybug silicone breast milk collectors during let-downs can help trigger a faster and more efficient milk release. It’s a win-win situation! So, if you ever feel like your milk supply needs a little nudge, grab your Haakaa and let it work wonders. As moisture builds up, so too does the chance of any of the usual problems that may arise during breastfeeding periods. This also means, though, they are a bit bigger in size, while still equally as discreet as all of the other milk collection shells.

Haakaa Silicone Breat Pump: What is it?

However, it’s not a breast pump in the way that a manual like the Medela Harmony, or and electric pump like the Spectra S1, are - so we don’t think it’s fair to compare it to these. Collect Every Precious Drop of Your Liquid Gold - Breast Milk Collector collects any natural letdown that would otherwise be lost in a disposable nursing pads, but it is NOT like the manual breast pump to suction on your breast and help to breast milk come out. Multifunctional design allows you to collect breast milk effortlessly throughout the day, saving every precious drop of your breastmilk! Instead, milk simply drips off into the shell, making this product ideal for breastfeeding mothers who frequently end up with sore nipples. The good news is that cleaning the Haakaa is a breeze! After each use, simply wash it with warm soapy water. You can use soft bristle brushes (bottle brush) or soft sponges to clean the inside and outside of the Haakaa, ensuring there’s no residue left. Rinse it well and let it air dry on a clean, dry surface. In some shells, a vent can pose a risk of milk leakage if you lean too far forward with a full tank.
