haakaa Manual Breast Pump for Breastfeeding 4oz/100ml

The haakaa Manual Breast Pump is a one-piece silicone pump for expressing and collecting breast milk by hand. It holds 4oz/100ml and is moulded from a single piece of food grade silicone, with a soft flange shaped to sit against different breast sizes, no cords, batteries or parts to assemble, and a smooth interior that is cleaned by boiling in water for 2 to 3 minutes. The material is free from BPA, PVC, lead and phthalates, and the design is covered by patent no. USD810,925S.

It suits parents who want something light enough to keep in a nappy bag, quiet to use while travelling or away from home, and simple to rinse out between uses. It can also be attached to the other breast during a feed to catch let-down.

To use it, press the flange against your breast, squeeze the base to create suction, then release and let the pump draw milk on its own. Adjusting how firmly you squeeze changes the level of suction, so it can be matched to personal comfort. Between feeds, the milk inside can be kept in the pump itself if it is going straight to the fridge, though a dedicated storage bag or bottle is better for anything held longer. When comparing silicone pumps of this type, the main differences to check are flange diameter, base capacity, and whether the design includes a stopper cap to prevent spills, as the base version of this pump does not include one and that accessory is sold separately.

The 4oz size is well suited to catching let-down or supplementing a pumping session rather than replacing a full electric pump routine. It is a practical first purchase for someone building a small freezer stash without committing to a larger setup, and equally useful as a backup for parents who already own an electric pump and want something that requires no power source. Because the whole pump is one continuous piece of silicone, there are no valves or membranes to replace over time.
