haakaa Manual Breast Pump Breastfeeding Pump with Food Grade Silicone Cap (Grey) 4oz/100ml

Handy and Efficient!
The Hakka pump is a lifesaver. It’s easy to use, effective, and perfect for catching letdown. I love how simple and efficient it is!

Use this while breastfeeding and make a nice freezer stash
Using the Hakka with every feed has made my milk supply go up just by making my body think I need more milk. I started using this right when my milk came in with my second baby. I squeeze it down to make the suction tight, then might have to keep readjusting throughout the feed to keep making the suction tight.I was really worried about finding time to pump having a newborn and a toddler but by using the Hakka I didn’t really need to pump, helped me not get engorged, and I saved the milk I collected to create a freezer stash for when I came back to work. I tell EVERYONE who is planning on breastfeeding to use this because it is just the most convenient thing. Also, I tried using a different brand with my first baby just to save money, and I have to say that it FOR SURE makes a difference to use the hakka. It is better overall, the suction is superior, the grip is better and I am able to collect more milk with it. Also, I cannot say how frequently it would just fall off when it got full when I used other brands. With the Hakka it stays gripped pretty well even when it’s full so lower chance to make a milk mess. Worth paying more and getting a product that is better.

A breastmilk supply lifesaver
I have never written a product review before now because my feelings about a product have never been strong enough to warrant it. I say that so you understand the level of my feelings. My Haakaa pumps have been a breastmilk lifesaver. The first one I bought was so helpful that I bought another one within two weeks.I like both equally well. The 4 ounce one is easier for me to attach but it doesn’t have as stable of a bottom. The picture shows the amount of milk that I got from one breast during a morning pumping session. It’s about 8 ounces. That much only happens if I’ve gotten a bit engorged. Typically a pumping session gives me about 4-5 ounces.I am currently breastfeeding my second child. I didn’t have a Haakaa for my first and it wouldn’t have been helpful. Unfortunately with baby #1 I ended up exclusively pumping very early on and only used an electric pump. That worked very well for me because with only one child I was able to keep up a very structured pumping schedule. However, with baby #2 I am living anything but a structured life. It’s a chaotic madhouse. It is very difficult to find time to sit at one of my electric pumps (I have 2 because I lived through exclusive pumping and having my only pump break down on me which resulted in a frantic trip to the store and me making sure to have a spare) but the Haakaa is so easy to use while breastfeeding my son.My son typically only feeds from one side during a session. I place the Haakaa on the side that he’s not going to nurse. Once it’s on then I get him latched on the other breast. I learned early on to attach the Haakaa first before my son latches on. Typically after a few minutes the Haakaa is “full” and isn’t drawing out any more milk. I will then break my son’s latch before removing the Haakaa. I dump the milk in a storage container and reattach the Haakaa. I recommend having some kind of towel under your breast as you detach and attach the Haakaa so you don’t drip milk on your clothes or child. I then will continue feeding my son and the Haakaa will start to fill up again. Depending on how full my breast is and how long my son nurses, I will “fill” the Haakaa two or three times. Be careful as the Haakaa fills. It will lose suction and can be dislodged by a well placed baby kick.My Haakaa pumps have helped increase and maintain my milk supply. They are easy to use and clean. They have also helped me build up a healthy amount of extra milk to freeze. I do recommend watching a few YouTube videos about how to properly attach the Haakaa. It’s not difficult but you will want to see it done before trying it yourself.

Breastfeeding essential!
This is an essential for breastfeeding mamas. It is best used to collect the milk that will leak from your opposite breast while feeding on the other side but can also be used as a no noise, no electricity manual pump with some breast massaging.At night I get to skip a feed while my husband gives the baby a bottle but that means I’m very full when I do my next feed. I use the Hakaa to take some of the milk out of one side so that my breast is soft enough for the baby to latch, then while the baby feeds on that side, use the Hakaa to collect the milk from the other side. By doing this I can keep baby sleeping without needing to run a noisy pump or unlatch them to change sides (or shoot them in the face with a heavy let down!) and I also have enough milk for the next nights bottle.

This work very well. Better than any electric pump I bought

I brought the expensive one but this one is better. Highly recomend.
