haakaa Colostrum Collectors for Breastfeeding Moms to Collect Store and Feed Colostrum, 0.1oz/4ml, 2pcs

Set yourself up for success!

GET THE HAAKAA TUBES!! ðŸ™Œ I collected 3 *bags* of colostrum-popsicles with these. You just fill them up, freeze them, then run them under hot water for a few seconds to loosen them up and pop them out into a bag. Wash and reuse the next day. With doctor's permission, I started pumping 1x a day for 20 minutes at 37 weeks. At 40w, I doubled it to 2x a day. Babe was born at 40w6 and I had 3 bags of colostrum saved. We fed her two bags when she was born and saved the 3rd for when she gets sick. My nurses and LC were so impressed! Having confidence from my colostrum collection made me much more confident going into my exclusively pumping journey. â™¥ï¸

SO rewarding!!

I started collecting at 36 weeks when my midwives said I could and it's been such a rewarding process! At first I was discouraged because I could only get a few droplets and that barely seemed worth saving. I was also using the suction part to collect them but I felt like it was missing quite a bit each time. After a few days of trying twice a day and being patient (well…debatable), I finally started getting more and more drops. I also started to just use the whole opening to “scrape” the droplets off my nipple. Another little hack that makes a HUGE difference for me: I use lanolin oil on just the breast tissue to help my finger slide toward my nipples better. I'm being very careful not to get any on my nipples. Using this has made it more comfortable and SO much more colostrum comes out. Happy harvesting everyone!

Another great haakaa product!

Very flexible silicone used compared to Haakaa's other products (thinner). Super easy to dissemble and sterilize in a microwave sterilizer case. Love that there's a case for them, that the measurements are easily readable and without dye or ink that could sleep through. Once the six tubes are full, will store them in freezer in the case and bring to the hospital when babygirl arrives. I like fluent expression straight into the tube with the nip removed but can see where it would be useful if you express less at a time than a steady drip. Good suction for that if needed. Overall I like this product. Others will say to just express into syringes but I like that these are silicone, able to stand heat to be sterilized or be frozen, and bpa free

Great product!

I love these containers! I was blessed to have my colostrum come in before my baby is born, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I'm not high risk so it's okay to express my milk. I'm so happy and I've been collecting, this is how much colostrum I've produced within 5 days, I accidentally threw a container away, and I ordered 2 more 6 packs to collect! Love the product! It takes a moment to get used to but I prefer it over others! Gets the job done

Ask the hospital for syringes!

My colostrum never came in early, and even if it did, these would be way to hard to scoop it up. Either order little syringes with a suction puller, or ask the hospital for them. I wasted quite a bit of colostrum at the hospital trying to use these to get colostrum to my baby in the nursery. It wasn't until I got the syringes that i could actually collect AND have a nurse feed it to her

Amazing for collecting liquid Gold!

I tried what many of the lactation consultants on YouTube suggested like a spoon, cup, etc. and I lost out on a lot. Enter these cute little collectors! Squeeze gently and every drop of miracle sunshine juice is gobbled up for later use. Don't be discouraged if you only get a few drops - I watched multiple splats fly onto the walls of these tiny tubes before they bound together to form a glorious puddle at the bottom - which eventually added up. I'm not due for another month so I'm really looking forward to seeing how much I can collect for our baby! Pic from two sessions on my first day collecting. I highly recommend heating pads for breasts and a lactation massager for best results. Please watch instructions on YouTube from an actual IBCLC on how to hand express colostrum (or see one in person!

My Sanity Lies in a Small Dropper

The first few days after I had my first baby I was working extremely hard to get my milk supply established. Lots of recommendations and pressure from family members combined with lots of support from lactation consultants - HOLLA AT THE LACTATION FRIENDS! I was saving every last drop, literally. These cute little “catchers” helped me collect small amounts of colostrum, I mean every last drop! I was able to feed my baby the first milk I ever expressed and it was very rewarding. If you remember those first days postpartum you know! I may have only used them for 2-3 days but I would pay for these suckers 10 times over because they gave me an insane satisfaction. I liked how easy it was to maneuver the caps and either open it all the way up or use the small dropper. They are easy to clean - same material as a Haakaa. Once I collected as much as I could I was able to squirt small amounts into his mouth with the dropper

Easy to use and convenient to store!

Love that these were easy to use to collect my pumped colostrum. I filled 5/6 in my first session but will be trying another reviewers suggestion of popping out once frozen and storing an another bag so can reuse these containers

Amazing!

After doing some research on all of the benefits of harvesting colostrum I decided to give it a try. I experimented once with a simple syringe and it was okay but quite messy. I ordered the Haakaa collection kit and decided to try again with a goal of 1ml. Within 10 minutes I collected 8mls ðŸ˜ These are very simple to use and store. I love that they are reusable as well

Worth every penny!

I started leaking colostrum around 29 weeks and with permission began collecting. These were a total life saver! Made it super easy to collect. I ordered 1 mL syringes to store colostrum in the freezer so I could reuse the Haakaa collectors. I hand express into the Haakaa collector and then use syringes to suck colostrum straight out of the collector and pop into the freezer. I hand express once a day and usually produce about 4 mL per day. Only downfall to these is they can be difficult to clean because they are pretty small. I would recommend getting a long SKINNY brush to clean these with. Make sure to boil before use
