Haakaa Manual Breast Pump, Clear, 4oz/100ml

Product Information

The Haakaa Pump is a silicone bulb that is applied to the breast in a way to generate suction. The negative pressure helps remove additional milk, especially when a letdown is triggered by nursing or pumping on the other side. How much does a Haakaa Pump cost? A lot of moms who own both an electric breast pump and Haakaa said that she never use the electric pump at home because it is so convenient to just use Haaka at home to pump one breast while feeding the baby on the other side.

There’s a few different brands of sunflower lecithin. Here is a link to the one that worked the best for me. Whether you are trying to save every last ounce of liquid gold during regular nursing sessions, need a pump for traveling, or are desperate to find a pump that actually works for you, the Haakaa could be a good option for you. This breastfeeding mama gives it two thumbs up. If you have a particularly stubborn clogged duct you may need to repeat this process several times until you find relief.

The haakaa is a silicone breast pump designed to catch the letdown from your other breast while you nurse your baby. All you have to do is attach it to your breast and it will collect milk without any additional effort on your end. Unlike a regular electric pump, the haakaa is made of pliable silicone, hands free, and electricity free. This makes it extremely easy to use and a major hit with breastfeeding moms. Can a Haakaa Replace an Electric Pump? Sometimes, the clog can be released right away, and sometimes you need to do this several times a day to get it work.

Apply suction – you may need to adjust the position of your pump a couple of times. Once the pump is secure and comfortable, apply suction by squeezing the base of the pump to start the flow of milk. I was usually able to remove the clog within a few hours when I combined sunflower lecithin with pumping as much as possible. Start by using this massager for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes are up, put them away so they are not near the water and haakaa. Depending on what your needs are, a haakaa may or may not be able to replace an electric pump. I’d say for most mothers, the haakaa alone won’t be able to serve your pumping needs. If you plan on pumping at work, or plan on being away from your baby at any time, you’ll likely want to have an electric pump in addition to the haakaa. The haakaa is great for collecting milk during a letdown, but it’s not exactly capable of “emptying” a breast. The good news is, an electric breast pump won’t break the bank. You can get a free pump through insurance. Simply fill out this easy form to get started.

Foremilk refers to the thin, translucent, watery milk that is seen at the start of breast emptying, particularly when the breast is full and milk hasn’t been removed for a period of time. There may be a tendency for the Haakaa to collect more of this “foremilk” which is viewed less favorably than high fat “hindmilk.” If the Haakaa is not being used on overly full breasts, this is not a concern, and even the “foremilk” is still valuable. It just won’t keep baby full for as long as the higher fat milk. Can a Haakaa Pump go in the dishwasher?A Haakaa Pump is the name brand version of a silicone milk collection pump. It’s a hybrid of a milk collector that passively collects milk and a traditional breast pump that uses suction to remove milk. Haakaa Pumps are applied to the breast and generate negative pressure to encourage letdowns and remove milk from the breast. They are typically used on one side while the other side is nursed on or has a traditional breast pump on it. Is a Haakaa Pump Worth It? If you normally leaks, then yes, Haaka will be very helpful to collect those leaks for you and even some more, because it applies a little bit of pressure. The amount of milk you collect with a haakaa varies from mom to mom. A lot of it depends on your milk supply, the last time you nursed or pumped, and how your breasts respond to the pump. I would, on average, collect about two ounces per feeding. When I was really struggling with an oversupply, I could get up to eight ounces per feeding, and after my baby started solids, I would sometimes collect less than an ounce. It all depends!
