Why am I only collecting a small amount of breastmilk? Am I not using the Haakaa correctly?

First, ensure that the Pump is securely attached with a strong suction. Using a warm compress, pumping in the shower, pumping first thing in the morning, and gently massaging your breast, are all easy ways you can stimulate more milk to be expressed!

My Haakaa pump hurts to use. How can I stop this? What causes the pain?

Maybe suction too strong. Try to just lightly squeeze the base and attach to your breast making sure your nipple is in the centre of the pump and not touching the sides of the Pump. The more air gets squeezed out, the stronger the suction will be.

Why does my Haakaa have a strong smell of plastic? Is there any way to get rid of the smell?

Make a paste of baking soda and water, rub it all over the Pump and then soak it in a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and warm water for about 30-60min. Then clean your pump thoroughly with warm soapy water. Finally, boiling in hot water for 2-3 mins.

Is the 4oz Haakaa suitable for those with larger breasts or a high milk supply?

If a mom has a larger amount of breast milk or larger breasts that require a breast pump with more suction, we recommend trying the 150ml/5oz Haakaa Breast Pump. Larger capacity, stronger suction, and has a upgrade suction base for stand steadily.

What time of day is best to express breastmilk?

The easiest time to express milk using a breast pump is in the morning! For the rest of the day, it’s best to express 30 mins to 1 hr after feeding your bub. You can also catch let-down with Haakaa from the other breast while your baby is feeding.
