YOU NEED THIS PUMP NOWWWW!!!
I bought one haakaa pump before I had my son in August because of all the great reviews. I didn’t actually start using it until he was almost 6 weeks old, I really wished I had started using it the day I started nursing. Whether you’re full time breast feeding, bottle feeding, split feeding, this is the best thing you could ever have. I collected so much milk that would have gone to waist because I was producing way more than my newborn would eat. My let down flow would absolutely just drown him, so I’d just put the haakaa on the breast he’s going to eat from for a minute or so, then he’s good to eat without choking. I eventually transitioned to strictly bottles because it was easier for us. I used the Medela Spectra, the manual breast pumps by Medela and Lansinoe, but this one works the best. I ended up buying another to strictly pump using only the haakaas. The way it pulls all the milk out with a continuous suction, I get more milk using these than anything I’ve ever used. I get a full 10 ounces with a 30 minute pump session using these breast pumps when I’d only get max 8 using my electric 200 dollar breast pumps. Not only does it work better, it’s just a million times more convenient. Bringing spare cups and bottles is a lot easier than making sure you can connect to power. I use the haakaa cups almost every time I go out. If I need to pump, a quick 15-30 minute pump is all I need to get going again. They’re easy to wash, my husband hated washing my electric pump, but never complains when asked to wash these lol. There’s only a tad bit of cons that don’t nearly outweigh the pros. A con would be they don’t have a strap to save the milk from falling in your lap and spilling once the suction runs out. This is most definitely the worst thing, I’ve lost so many ounces from clumsily trying to multitask. Now I sit mostly still and keep an eye on the suction so I can adjust and pour when needed. The other con which I wouldn’t really say is a con, is you have to replace them more often. With an electrical you’d have to replace all millions of pump pieces every three months or less depending on usage. These pumps, you have to replace them once the silicone becomes cloudy. This takes a while to happen, but it will eventually in about 2-3 months. Judging how easily these are to clean, using a soft sponge will make your pumps last a lot longer, but either way being hundreds of dollars less than an electrical pump, this is definitely where to invest. I also bought the lady bug collection cups in hopes of losing less milk when I’m too busy to pump. If my breasts are leaking, I can just pop those on really quickly, they fit the best in a nursing or sports bra. I’m obsessed with saving every drop for my baby, haakaa really really knows how to help with that. Just please please please make safety lanyards for your collection cups so less milk gets waisted for clumsy moms 🥹 Thank you!!!! Read more
