haakaa Gen.2 Manual Breast Pump 150ml/5.4oz

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!!!!

I wasn’t able to breastfeed with my first due to latch issues and wanted to try again with my second who arrived last month. We started off strong initially, but had a weight dip early on and I needed to supplement a bit in order to continue breast-feeding. I pumped exclusively with my first and it really reduced my quality of life and I wasn’t willing to do that again with my second. My doctor recommended using the Haaka during feeds so that I could supplement with breastmilk and continue to breastfeed. We are now five weeks in and breastfeeding is going strong and we no longer need to supplement. The Haaka made this possible for me and truly saved my breastfeeding journey because of its ease and my ability to use it during feeds to collect milk that I could use to supplement. It’s an incredible product for the price and I can’t recommend it enough.

One of the best tools that helped me when I started breastfeeding. In my experience its a must for the first weeks when one can have an oversupply, you can collect from one breast while feeding form the other. I built such a stash just doing that in the beginning before my supply got stablished. Its easy to clean and the suction is good and adjustable to your comfort and the suction you want.

Most used breastfeeding essential! I use this every time I breastfeed. Easy to use and clean. Helped me to feed and still store milk.

I use the Haakaa manual breast pump every single day and it has been one of the most useful breastfeeding tools I own. It’s incredibly simple, but it works really well for what it’s designed to do. I mostly use it to collect letdown from the opposite breast while feeding my baby. Instead of letting that milk go to waste, the Haakaa catches it easily. Over time it really adds up, and I’ve been able to save a good amount of milk just from using it during regular feeds. One thing I really like is how soft the silicone is. It feels high quality and comfortable, and the suction is strong enough to stay in place while still being easy to attach and remove. Once you get the hang of how to put it on properly, it works very reliably. The only downside is that the standard version doesn’t have a suction base, which means it can be knocked over if you set it down on a surface. I’ve definitely had a few moments where I have cried over spilled milk. Because of that, you just have to be a little careful where you place it. That said, it’s still something I use every day and would absolutely recommend to anyone breastfeeding. It’s simple, effective, easy to clean, and a great way to collect milk that would otherwise be lost. Even with the small drawback, it’s been a really valuable tool in my breastfeeding routine.

This was raving all over social media right before I had my first baby. So I bought this in 2023. I used it every single feeding. As a FTM I had no clue what I was doing, if it was good, how to do it properly all the things. As a second time mom I feel like I know a little more this time around with these manual pumps and I’d love to give my feedback for any other mamas out there looking for some help/advice. Overall This product is a good manual easy way to pump/start to express milk or catch a letdown (without a hard suction light squeeze) Pros: *easy to use- I will mention sometimes for me I’d have to adjust it a few times to get it around my nipple and areola’s in the right spot. Or my milk wouldn’t come out properly. *lightweight/ very convenient to take anyplace *quiet/ no cords or machine *works very very well * holds a good amount of milk *not expensive *last a long time for good use Cons: *Baby would kick it off if trying to use during a feeding (cradle position) and if I would get up or move it looses suction I would have to hold it when I walk. *suction is VERY strong- it would be painful most the time and even sometimes it wouldn’t get all my milk out because it doesn’t reach closer to my nipple. So self express had to be done as well. *over supply/nipple stimulation- I believe this pump made me an over suppler with my first because I would use it each feed (every hour) for months because of cluster feeding. This time around I use it here and there because I didn’t want an over supply. And I notice a huge difference. *tips over easily ( that’s why I bought another with a lid and suction on bottom)

This has been great for collecting the extra milk during breastfeeding. I’ve had enough milk each day for my husband to do one bottle feed a night.

This could be user error, but I've looked up the instructions/tutorials and still can't quite figure out how to get it to work efficiently. I get maybe 0.25 fl oz at the same rate that I get 5 fl oz with my electric pump (about 15 minutes). I appreciate the ease of getting it on and cleaning it, but I think I gave it enough of a college try and will be retiring it.

Parfait pour dépanner. Maintenant, il est moins efficace que votre bébé (heureusement) ou qu'un tire lait. Les seins ne sont pas vides. Je conseilles d'en avoir un pour chaque sein et avoir si possible un soutifs adéquat parce qu'il faut les tenir sinon pour éviter qu'ils tombent

Product is amazing, it helps to pump milk very fast and easy. However, in Dubai delivery company confused flat number and I had to search from neighbour my package.

Honestly the best thing for breastfeeding and I have recommended them over and over. I simply put it on the 'spare' boob when I was feeding from the other and it caught the let down. Suctions well so no worry about it falling off as long as you follow the instructions. Honestly, wouldn't go without and had to buy another during my breastfeeding journey.

It works perfectly Hurts a bit but overall very satisfied

I was initially very skeptical about this product, but it works really well. It is simple to use and very effective.
