How do you use a Haakaa pump?Updated 2 years ago

  1. Sterilise your pump by boiling it in water for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Place the pump flange over your nipple - make sure your nipple is centred comfortably in the neck of the pump.
  3. Apply suction - you may need to adjust the position of your pump a couple of times. Once the pump is secure and comfortable, apply suction by squeezing the base of the pump to start the flow of milk
  4. Once the milk begins to flow, simply leave the pump alone to do its thing!
  5. When the pump is full, empty it into your choice of storage and reposition. We love the Haakaa Milk Storage Bags for this!!
  6. If the flow of milk slows or you've expressed your desired amount, detach from your breast and safely store your milk away.
