I’d say for most mothers, the haakaa alone won’t be able to serve your pumping needs. If you plan on pumping at work, or plan on being away from your baby at any time, you’ll likely want to have an electric pump in addition to the haakaa.

You can start using the Haakaa breast pump right away – it can help with stimulating your milk supply and get you started on a milk stash for your baby. This means its a piece of baby kit that can see you right through to the end of the first year, and beyond even if you continue to breastfeed after 12 months. Leave the Haakaa to do its job. You should feel some pull and the Haakaa should be attached to the breast if you have done this correctly. Squeeze the pump at its widest part (where the milk will be collected) and bring it up to the breast.

The Haakaa can be used to effectively drain the breast but the extent of emptying will depend on a number of factors including milk supply, time of use, the age of your baby and how often the Haakaa is being used. Like with any pump, it’s important to assess your breasts before, during and after a feed to ensure they’ve been properly emptied and are comfortable.Many mothers report finding the Haakaa easier to use and get going with if they wait to fit it until after the letdown (where your baby or an electric pump has stimulated the breast to release milk from the glands) has begun.
