The Haakaa milk catcher maximises the quantity of breast milk leakage it collects preventing your breast milk let down from being wasted on nursing pads. Clean after each use. We strongly recommend cleaning and sterilising your Silicone Milk Collector with any steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. If you don't actively leak while feeding we recommend the Haakaa Silicone Pump as the milk collector only has gentle suction and is a more passive way to collect milk. While warm compresses and showers can promote milk let-down it is not recommended to use the Silicone Breast Milk Collector when showering as you may inadvertently contaminate your collected milk with shower gels / body soaps, etc. As you feed your baby, you may notice your other breast leaking milk.

Even my older kids have become aware of my connection to the Elvie Curve. They know when I am about to nurse that I need my “Elbie” as my three and a half year old calls it. He runs to wherever he last saw it and yells, “Hold on, Mama! I got that Elbie for your boob!” Yes, apparently our family is training up the next generation of lactation support! My-eight-year old even considers it his job to rinse it out for me when I’m done so it is ready for the next nursing sesh. My village is nothing but supportive.
