Oral Feeding Syringe
The Haakaa Oral Syringe is the perfect way to administer medicine, milk and liquid diets to premature or just plain fussy babies in a mess and waste-free way. Our dual-angled ports on either side of the nipple shoot liquid into the sides of your little one's mouth instead of the back of their throat to greatly reduce the risk of choking!
When feeding a baby using a traditional syringe, you have to use a combination of the hard nib (which could damage your baby’s delicate mouth) and your finger to make it work. The Haakaa Oral Syringe makes things easier by providing a soft silicone nipple for babies to suck on when they feed!
Features
- 100% food-grade silicone pacifier-shaped teat is more easily accepted by babies.
- Durable, non-toxic, BPA, PVC and phthalate-free.
- Effortless one-hand operation - simply push to feed & control flow.
- Soft shield prevents potential choking hazards.
- Clearly marked measuring cup ensures accurate dispensing.
- Stands upright, making it convenient to hold and place between uses.
- Easy-care detachable design - safe in dishwashers, sterilisers and boiling water.
Directions
- Measure the proper dose of liquid in the measuring cup, making sure the cup is on a flat, stable surface.
- Submerge syringe tip in liquid, then pull the plunger back to fill. Double-check the amount.
- Once you have drawn the required amount of liquid, place the syringe tip inside the opening of the silicone teat and push in firmly to attach. NOTE: Take care not to push down on plunger while attaching teat.
- Adjust the silicone teat so that the two holes are facing towards the baby's cheeks before feeding.
PLEASE NOTE: The syringe tip is designed to be harder to attach to prevent it falling off. ALWAYS follow your doctor's or the manufacturer's dosage recommendations.
Cleaning & Care
Disassemble and wash before and after each use. Always sterilise after any illness. Although dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing in warm soapy water, then rinsing and drying thoroughly. Do not use any bleach-based cleaners or tablets to clean or sterilise your Haakaa products. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2-3 minutes. Silicone may absorb the colours of liquids it comes in contact with. To minimise discolouring, wash immediately after use. Store product in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How to use a Haakaa pump?
Before using a Haakaa pump, it is recommended to sterilise it by boiling in water for 2-3 mins (if you have a steam steriliser, you can use this if you prefer).
Place the pump flange over your nipple - make sure your nipple is centred comfortably in the neck of the pump. You can either fold the flange back and push the body of the pump to achieve a stronger suction or just push the air out by squeezing the pump's body without folding the flange back to get a lighter suction. Remember, the more air you squeeze out, the stronger the suction.
Apply suction - you may need to adjust the position of your pump a couple of times. Once the pump is secure and comfortable, apply suction by squeezing the base of the pump to start the flow of the milk. Once milk starts to flow, leave the pump alone to do its thing.
If milk flow slows down or you have expressed your desired amount, detach the pump from your breast and safely store your milk.
