Haakaa Silicone Milk Collector, 75 ml Capacity

Product Information

Also, if you are breastfeeding at night and you start to leak, instead of grabbing a regular haakaa or manual pump and trying to do a side-lying feed, you can use a ladybug. This is all thanks to the spout on the top of the shield that helps keep the nipple ventilated, preventing any nasty issues that might occur from moisture buildup like rashes, thrush, or even some nasty yeast infections that may contaminate the milk.

If I could go back in time to my early breastfeeding days, I would shout from the rooftops about the Haakaa Milk Collector!

Yes, I still recommend them to many mums in certain situations, but I don’t just tell them to whack it on and enjoy — there’s more to it than that. There's a suction cup on the base of the Haakaa so it's easy to put down on a flat surface, leaving your hands free until you're ready to transfer the milk to a baby bottle or breastmilk storage bag. Quite easy to clean, and saves me from racing to clean pump bottles, because they catch the milk in between.

Mums in this situation often tell me that they feel such a strong sense of rejection and such deep sadness, and feel totally helpless. This post isn’t going to be about how handy the Haakaa is — there are a plethora of articles out there that do that. For those where it’s more complicated and their supply really needs to be brought down a little, then a knowledgeable IBCLC can provide good support to allow them to experience the feeds they’d dreamed of. Being pregnant with my rainbow baby and an elderly woman at church said something that crushed my heart.Ideally, this is when Emma gets in contact with me, and after a lot of discussion, it becomes clear that the only thing that needs to change is that she needs to stop using the Haakaa! 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. But remember the most simple rule of breastmilk production: The more milk you take out, the more milk you make.
