Product Information

Whether you are trying to save every last ounce of liquid gold during regular nursing sessions, need a pump for traveling, or are desperate to find a pump that actually works for you, the Haakaa could be a good option for you. This breastfeeding mama gives it two thumbs up. The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump is designed to provide efficient and comfortable milk expression and it offers just that with no frills or fuss. Most mums have given the ergonomic handle and lightweight design a thumbs up as it makes this manual pump a breeze to use – no painful hands after endless pumping! We like the smart two-phase expression technology on the handle, which allows you to alternate between stimulation and expression modes.

Leave the Haakaa to do its job. You should feel some pull and the Haakaa should be attached to the breast if you have done this correctly. Cons: Manual pumping can require more effort and repetitive hand movements, which might be tiring or painful for some. They may also be less efficient for long or frequent pumping sessions. To aid in killing possible bacteria, choosing a manual pump that is dishwasher safe can ensure that it is squeaky clean after each use. “Dishwasher-safe pump parts make cleanup easier,” Blankenship tells Verywell Family. “I also like the pumps that come apart to clean. It makes sanitization easier. It's always important to use clean pump parts and storage containers.” Here at Haakaa, we're committed to providing the ultimate care for our clients and the environment. That is why our breast pumps are made of eco-friendly and hypoallergenic materials. They are easy-to-wash and sterilized, which ensures comfortable and safe usage.You can start using the Haakaa breast pump right away – it can help with stimulating your milk supply and get you started on a milk stash for your baby. This means its a piece of baby kit that can see you right through to the end of the first year, and beyond even if you continue to breastfeed after 12 months.

For those who are interested in breastfeeding their little one (and the benefits of breastfeeding are many, for babies and for moms), a good breast pump can certainly come in handy. Breast pumps are especially great for keeping up your milk supply when baby isn't hungry, or helping to increase your supply, if necessary. Pumping also gives a nursing parent the chance to let another caregiver occasionally feed the baby a bottle, so it is not all on them. Though, of course, time pumping just replaces time nursing — but pumping while working or traveling definitely lets moms multi-task and families share the work and feeding load. Our consumer testers, Lab parents, many Reddit users and Dukas-Janakos all confirm that this is comfortable and easy to use as either a single or double pump (to empty one breast, or both at the same time). The battery lasts for up to three hours, so you don't have to worry about it conking out on you during the day. Digital controls make it easy to find the right customizations for your own body's letdown process, which is what gets the milk flowing.I had a manual Lansinoh for use while at work and it was brilliant. I have got a Philips electric one and I actually preferred the manual.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user, Mrs Hopity) Our verdict The Haakaa essentially does the same job as the smaller breast milk collectors, however thanks to its design it can gather more milk both due to its size and how it fits over the breast. By doing this, the pump actually works to pull the milk from your breast rather like an electric pump would with its pulling motion. What the AirPods did for headphones, the Willow aims to do for breast pumps: Make the experience entirely hands-free and cordless (with no dangling bottles!). You pump directly into bags that fit inside the flange-pump combo. You can use the Willow without its app, but it works well with it (for iOS or Android). While many of our testers are fans, they noted that there's a steep learning curve when first acclimating to the pump. For example, you can't see the flange on your nipple, so alignment takes some practice. (Misalignment can lead to inefficiency, leaks and discomfort.) Once you familiarize yourself, though, production is impressive considering the compact nature of this pump.

If you do choose the Haakaa original then look for a version that comes with a plastic lid, as this means you can pump, pop it in the fridge, then use it again later the same day. The Haakaa has an open top, so you can't use it to transport your milk unless you buy an upgraded model that includes a lid or stopper. Still, the simplicity and the relief that this manual pump can offer a mom who's just trying to get a handle on breastfeeding is worth it, especially given how affordable it is. If you're a nursing mom looking for a product that promotes ease, then this is one that I think that you'll really enjoy. The softer, ergonomic handle on this manual pump allows you to control the level of suction by adjusting the pressure you apply to the handle, and the extra soft silicone inlay cushion, which fits into the one-size-fits-all funnel, makes it softer on the breast as you pump. It also fits onto a bottle you can use to feed right away and is compatible with all MAM easy start bottles and milk storage solutions. What makes this manual pump a hassle-free travel companion? It's small enough to fit into almost any purse or bag, is virtually silent whilst pumping and is super easy to clean.Size: Most pumps come with a standard-size breast shield of 24mm. If you have large breasts, make sure you can size up and buy a larger breast shield before you invest in the entire system. Same if you are on the smaller size; Dukas-Janakos tells us that many women she sees do well with a 19mm breast shield. "The majority of people start off pumping with the wrong size," says Dukas-Janakos who notes that fit is the key to expressing painlessly. If you're unsure of what size you'll want (a legitimate concern, since your breasts will swell and change once your milk comes in), buy two breast shield sizes in advance of baby's arrival. And if you're still having trouble, Dukas-Janakos says you can ask a lactation consultant to measure you. Before buying a manual pump, research options ideal for your breast size to ensure that each pumping session is comfortable and efficient; also, consider when you’ll be using your manual pump. A compact option would be ideal if you plan on keeping it in your diaper bag or work purse. No noise. Electric pumps are efficient, but they are so noisy! The Haakaa is much better for not disturbing your baby when in use and for use when watching TV so the noise isn’t drowned out.
