Silicone Colostrum Collector (pre-sterilised)
The Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector is a world-first design, giving mums the option to express colostrum antenatally and postnatally in a safe, easy-to-use storage solution. Colostrum is traditionally collected in single-use syringes often made from harmful plastics.
Our collector is made of 100% medical-grade silicone, which means it won’t leach nasty toxins and can be safely stored in the fridge or freezer. It’s easy-to-use and reuse, making it the ideal option for mums both before and after birth! Our Silicone Colostrum Collector Set comes in two different sizes to suit different needs – our original 4ml Collector, and the bigger 20ml!
Buy them individually or as a set – there’s even a set containing 6 x 4ml Collectors for when you need a range. Each Colostrum Collector comes with its own sticker for convenient labelling of each tube.
Please note:
Ensure clearance from your health professional prior to antenatal expressing as there may be a risk of early labour.

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.
