haakaaManual Breast Pump for Breastfeeding, Silicone, Clear 4oz/100ml

I absolutely loved this Haakaa manual pump. It’s simple, affordable, and it works, exactly what I needed. For such a low price, it delivers amazing value. It’s soft, comfortable to use, and super easy to clean.I mainly used it to catch let-down while nursing on the other side, and it helped me save so much milk I would’ve otherwise lost to a nursing pad. It's also small and quiet, perfect for those middle-of-the-night or on-the-go moments.Honestly, it became one of my favorite breastfeeding tools. If you're a new mom or just want something simple and effective, I highly recommend it!

I am a first time mom and only 2 weeks in to breastfeeding so I didn’t want to start with an electric pump yet. The Haakaa manual pump suctions on super well and reserves all my leaking milk that would otherwise go to waste. It stays on really well and i love that I can latch it on at the same time as my son breastfeeds on the other side. The Haakaa is easy to use, easy to clean, and is a no fuss option for anyone looking to include a bottle of collected milk here and there, rather than transitioning to a full on electric pump. I definitely recommend it!

As a first time mom the Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump is a game-changer for breastfeeding parents, offering a simple, affordable, and effective way to collect breast milk. Made from a single piece of 100% food-grade silicone, it’s lightweight, portable, and free of BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates, ensuring safety for both parent and baby. Its compact design—fitting easily into a purse or diaper bag—makes it ideal for discreet use at home, work, or on the go, like during car rides or flights.

I seriously love these so much, I got two and am debating getting two more. Wish I had them with earlier kids. I use them everyday, mostly to relieve myself when my baby is still sleeping and my milk starts leaking, or most often, to catch milk on available breast when baby is feeding on the other. I've accumulated jars and jars of milk for the freezer, I cannot believe that I had been using an extra burp cloth or letting the extra milk soak into my nursing bra or shirt before and foolishly thinking it was barely anything.Both of my free insurance electric double pumps have been chucked into storage - sorry!!!! Those were just too hard to use and clean/sanitize all the parts (who has time for that?!! - and that was with my husband doing all the sanitizing LOL). I am a huge fan of any baby product, especially one that is being used so frequently, that cleans as conveniently as possible. These are it. In the newborn phase, we did soap and boil cleanse daily but a few months down the road now, I just quickly rinse with non-scented soap after transferring the milk out (into a glass jar that I store in the fridge daily), then lay on a towel to air dry.It's hard to beat the convenience of these Haakaas plus the fact that they suction-attach onto your breasts so you don't need to buy those expensive extra fancy nursing bras that also have the fabric designed to hold the pump cups to your breasts - I now don't even need to use that feature on mine anyway because I find it more convenient to just drop the entire nursing bra flap down and quickly suction the Haaka on myself when I need. Guess I don't have to buy more of those fancy bras. Just more Haakas maybe, lol.Update: I started walking around with them on under my shirt when I'm having a nursing bra free day, just gotta be careful you don't accidentally knock them off yourself because I often forget they're on me.WARNING: watch out that your baby doesn't slap or ninja kick it clear off your breast when it's full of milk like mine has done a few times at the end of a feeding session...Downsides:1) The more it fills with milk, the weaker the suction gets. Maybe due to reduced air pressure and the heavier weight of the Haakaas.2) Silicone picks up smells. Use unscented soap. Also when I've been in a rush, I've been guilty of putting a Haakaa into the fridge for a few hours. When I take it out, the silicone has taken on a slight smell of the inside of my fridge, so maybe you're not supposed to do that. Soaking in vinegar for a few hours or boiling gets rid of smell.3) Takes a little time to get used to the feel of them suctioned on you. It's a bit uncomfortable at first but now I sometimes forget they're on me. They hurt a bit if you suction-attach on an empty breast.4) If you wear them as frequently as I do, they leave suction marks around your breasts. Doesn't hurt but doesn't look pretty - fades within a day. Your husband might also ask you why you are walking around with those things on all the time but will get used to seeing your breasts squished inside of the Haakaas poking up under a giant T-shirt or robe (or nothing).5) 4 oz does not collect 4 oz. More like 3.5 oz. You won't want it too full anyway, see #1.6) Using as a manual pump doesn't work for me. I was 3ish weeks postpartum when I first got these. I first tried one as a manual pump during a feeding session but it stayed empty, even after my letdown. I was upset it failed and went back to covering my breast with a burp cloth. I thought they didn't work and I was frustrated since they are non refundable. A few days later while baby was napping, I wanted to do some cleaning. My usual milk catchers weren't cleaned yet, so I thought I'd use the Haakaas as a substitute in case I started leaking and baby was still sleeping (I figured they should pay for themselves somehow). At the end of the hour, I realized that they had collected 1-2 oz of milk each. Surprisingly, I hadn't felt my milk coming out. So these work beautifully for me as milk catchers vs. as a manual pump. I also hand-express when my breasts need more relief than the Haakaas can give.7) No suction base. Can be easily knocked over. You can’t just put it down on the counter or nightstand. I have to remember to bring an extra cup to set it down inside of.

a must have for breastfeeding moms! Easy to clean, easy to sterilize, and a great way to build a small freezer stash!

I had this on my personal registry but never bought it. Now 3 weeks pp, I've been investing a lot in breastfeeding related items I didn't know/think I'd need. First use, I got 2oz from my slacker boob during a 7min comfort feed on the other side... that's how much (or more than) I usually get out of it with a 30min electric pump session. So I'm more than happy with this simple little thing!

I’ve used this Haakaa manual breast pump with two babies, and it’s hands-down one of the most essential breastfeeding tools I own, and I keep things pretty simple. It’s perfect for catching let-down while nursing, and the silicone design makes it easy to clean and completely silent. No cords, no hassle—just simple, effective milk collection. It’s durable, portable, and great for building a freezer stash with zero effort. Every nursing mom should have one!
