“A compact, silent manual pump that can collect letdown, but may struggle for full expression”

7.2

Solid Choice

The Haakaa silicone breast pump is praised by many parents for its compact, discreet, and hands-free design that allows collecting letdown milk while nursing. However, some report issues with getting a proper fit and finding it uncomfortable or painful to use, limiting its effectiveness for full milk expression. It seems best suited for occasional use, such as when away from home, rather than as a primary pump.

What parents love

Compact and portableParents appreciate the Haakaa's small size and lack of cords or batteries, making it easy to use discreetly and transport.

Hands-free milk collectionThe Haakaa can be attached to the opposite breast during nursing to passively collect letdown milk, without the need for manual pumping.

Easy to cleanThe single-piece silicone design is reported to be simple to disassemble and wash thoroughly.

Worth knowing

Difficult to get a proper fitMany parents struggle to get the Haakaa to seal tightly to their breast, leading to leaks and ineffective suction.

Can be uncomfortableSome users find the Haakaa causes discomfort or even pain when used, especially if not positioned correctly.

Limited milk expressionWhile good for collecting letdown, the Haakaa is not as effective as electric or manual pumps for fully expressing large volumes of milk.

Best for

Occasional milk collection, such as when away from home or during nursing sessions
Mums looking for a compact, discreet, and hands-free option

May not suit

Mums who need to regularly pump large volumes of milk
Those who struggle to get a comfortable, leak-free fit

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider trying the Haakaa in-store or with a lactation consultant to ensure a proper fit before purchasing

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the Haakaa to collect letdown milk while nursing on the opposite breast, rather than for full pumping sessions

Safety Note

Discontinue use if the Haakaa causes significant discomfort or pain
