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.

It’s simple to use, just collect and cover.
The collectors are made from soft, BPA-free silicone, and I love that I can freeze some for later.

Frequently asked questions
How to use a Haakaa pump?
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. If milk flow slows down or you have expressed your desired amount, detach the pump from your breast and safely store your milk.
Can you catch both foremilk and hindmilk when expressing using our Haakaa breast pumps?
The Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump was originally designed as a manual pump for mums, but can also be used as a tool to catch letdown. When we breastfeed from one side, we generally have a letdown from the breast on the opposite side - though this milk is often wasted through leakage into a breast pad or in your bra. Haakaa pumps are perfect for capturing your leakage, ensuring it doesn’t go to waste. Simply pop on your pump at the beginning of a feed for a few mins to catch your precious liquid gold! Once your initial letdown has slowed, you can then remove your pump. You will likely capture mainly foremilk in these first few minutes (which is 100% fine!). If you want to use the pump to empty your breast, simply leave it on until the breast is drained to get both fore and hindmilk (usually about 10-12 mins).
What are the benefits of using a Haakaa pump?
1. Relieves engorged and uncomfortable breasts
2. Builds a breastmilk stash
3. Fantastic on-the-go pumping option
4. No electricity or charging needed
5. Easy to clean
6. Catches letdown
7. Pain-free if applied correctly
8. One-piece silicone
Why am I not getting enough milk?
There can be different reasons for this. A low milk supply can result from not pumping enough, pumping too soon after a feeding session or skipping a feed. You may also have a low supply if you're using a suction level that is not suitable or comfortable for you or even if you simply require more hydration throughout the day. Being stressed or under pressure can also affect your supply or the amount you express in a session.
How to clean and disinfect the Haakaa pump?
We strongly recommend cleaning your Haakaa pump with warm, soapy water and then sterilising it with any steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2-3 mins. Do not use any bleach-based agents or sterilising tablets to clean this product, as this could affect the lifespan of the pump. It is also not recommended to use UV sterilisers to clean the pump, as they may impact the lifespan of your pump as well.
