If you’re looking for a way to collect milk without interrupting the natural lactation process, then our ladybug haakaa is the perfect tool. It can be worn discreetly inside your bra for a convenient and easy to use alternative to breast pads.
The haakaa Ladybug is a lightweight, hand held silicone pump that can be used to catch extra milk supply while breastfeeding or expressing. It doesn’t have a cord and can be easily sterilised with steam or boiling water. It’s great for moms who have a hard time sitting down for a full pumping session, or to be used as a quick catch-up tool when you’re out and about with your baby.
It’s very portable and has small feet on the bottom to stand upright on flat surfaces, preventing spillage after use. It also has a plug on the top to safely pour the milk from the ladybug into a container or bottle for storage.
How to Use
Simply press the Ladybug to your breast, you will feel light suction as it maximises the amount of let-down it catches as you carry on with your day. This allows you to save every drop of your liquid gold, building up a stash between breastfeeding sessions without any extra effort.
How to Clean
We recommend using a bottle brush and hot soapy water for regular cleaning. However, if you’re not comfortable with that then we recommend sterilising your ladybug in the microwave or by boiling it in water for about 3 minutes. Please ensure you are familiar with your country’s guidelines on safe storage of breast milk before using it.
Will it Help Me to Increase My Milk Supply?
No, the Ladybug will only catch the milk that comes out naturally during a let-down. If you’re actively trying to draw out more milk or build a stash in the freezer, then we highly recommend purchasing a Haakaa breast pump instead.
Does it Have to be Sterilised?
The Ladybug should be sterilised regularly to comply with your country’s safe breast milk storage guidelines. This can be done by boiling it in water for about three minutes or with any steam sterilising system.
Do I Need to Wash It Often?
The Haakaa Ladybug should be cleaned regularly to comply with your country’s safe storage guidelines. This can be done by boiling in water for about three minutes or with any other steam sterilising system.
What is the Difference between a Breast Pad and the Haakaa Silicone Ladybug?
The Haakaa Ladybug is a lightweight, portable breast pad that can be worn discreetly inside your bra for convenient and easy to use. It is a one piece design that attaches to your breast with suction and sits securely and discreetly in your bra. The suction is light and gentle to hold the product in place but will not draw out additional milk, so it’s ideal for mums who leak breast milk and want to save it without increasing their supply.
