The Haakaa Gen 2 is a one-piece silicone manual breast pump that suctions to the opposite breast during nursing and passively collects the letdown that would otherwise soak into a breast pad. No batteries, no tubing, no parts to sterilize separately. The 5oz body has a wide flange that creates the seal, plus a suction base that sticks to a flat surface so it stays upright once you set it down with milk inside. Made from 100% food-grade silicone, BPA and PVC free. Best for moms who oversupply, wh
Pros
- Catches letdown from the opposite breast while you nurse, no batteries or charging

- Suction base means you can set it on the nightstand mid-feed and not knock it over
- Great for building a freezer stash without scheduling separate pump sessions
Cons
- Not a replacement for an active electric pump when you need to drain a full breast on a schedule, this is for collecting letdown only
Frequently asked questions
Does it actually replace an electric pump?
No. The Haakaa is for catching letdown milk during nursing sessions, not for actively expressing milk to drain a breast. Most moms use it alongside a regular pump or just for building a freezer stash without scheduling pump times.
Can I sterilize it in boiling water?
Yes. It's 100% food-grade silicone with no separate parts, so you can boil it for 3 to 5 minutes, run it through the dishwasher top rack, or use a microwave steam sterilizer bag.
Will the suction be too strong for sore nipples?
Suction is gentle by design since you create it by squeezing the bulb before applying, not by pumping repeatedly. You control how much suction you create.
What's the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2?
Gen 2 adds the suction base so the pump stays upright on a flat surface even when filled with milk. Gen 1 had a rounded bottom that tipped over more easily.
