Jan 31, 2025 · if you already have epsom salt then you can try without the haakaa if you’re desperate.

Dip your nipple in the solution and gently squeeze your breast while your nipple is in the solution. You should see your milk flow into the bowl.

Jan 2, 2025 · My understanding is that the haakaa lady bug is a milk collector that sits in your bra while the baby nurses off the other side to collect milk that leaks from the non-nursing side. This works great for women who leak a lot and is an “easy” way to build up a milk storage.

Nov 14, 2024 · I’ve used the Haakaa first 3 months postpartum to build up a small freezer stash to use on the go or when my supply dips during my period. After getting a good amount, I stopped pumping with the Haakaa in mid December and just BF baby on demand.I...

Oct 10, 2020 · Bought One to try it out because although I love the haakaa I wanted something I could do more discrete and secure. Not gonna lie a little dissapointed that the moms who posted video reviews weren’t actually reviewing how it worked for them, yield, etc. And an actual comparison to how it worked for them vs how the haakaa worked for them.

Jun 25, 2024 · Hey everyone! I got the haakaa pictured below when I was 2 weeks pp and would use it maybe 2-3 times a day, not at every feeding. Well, I ended up getting a clogged duct on my left boob within a week so I stopped using it and haven’t had another clogged duct since (6 weeks pp today). I’ve heard bad things...

Jun 24, 2024 · Has anyone tried both and can tell me which they prefer? I already have the haakaa but between the baby and the Velcro toddler it is just too anxiety-inducing as the suction lessens when the milk flow increases and I’m constantly terrified of it getting kicked or knocked off. I feel like the curve does...

Jan 27, 2024 · Loved my Haakaa ladybugs last time, haven't tried any others to compare but had no issues with the ladybugs and I was a serious boob leaker so they got used all the time. I would recommend getting two if you haven't already bought a pair or weren't planning on it.

Jul 6, 2019 · I need to clean my Haakaa and I cannot find the brand new bottle brush. I accidentally left the Haakaa in the boiling water for a tad too long and our water is somewhat hard, so there’s a some cloudy-ness on the silicone. Now I’m worried I ruined...
