Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Haakaa Shell Wearable Silicone Breast Pump function as both a pump and a milk collector?
The Haakaa Shell Wearable Silicone Breast Pump serves a dual purpose:
As a Pump: By pressing the back of the Shell and attaching it to your breast, it creates continuous natural suction, allowing for hands-free milk expression.
As a Milk Collector: If you prefer to collect leaking milk without suction, you can open the plug to release all pressure, place the Shell over your breast, and secure it in your bra. This passive collection method captures any milk leakage discreetly.
Is the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump safe for both mother and baby?
Yes, the Haakaa Shell is made from 100% medical-grade silicone, ensuring it's safe for both mother and baby. It's free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates, reducing the risk of harmful chemical exposure.
How do I clean and sterilize the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump?
To maintain hygiene:
Cleaning: After each use, wash the Shell with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Although it's dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended.
Sterilizing: Use a steam sterilizer or boil the Shell in water for 2-3 minutes. Ensure the outlet is unplugged during sterilization to prevent deformation.
Avoid using bleach-based cleaners or tablets, and store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I use the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump while sleeping or exercising?
It's not recommended to use the Shell during activities like sleeping or exercising. Engaging in such activities may cause the Shell to shift, leading to potential spills or reduced effectiveness.

Choose the size that best fits your breastfeeding needs.
Is the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump comfortable to wear under clothing?
Yes, the Shell features a concave design that molds to your breast shape, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. Its discreet and hands-free design allows for comfortable expression anywhere, anytime.
Does the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump require batteries or an external power source?
No, the Haakaa Shell operates without cords or batteries. It utilizes natural suction, making it portable and travel-friendly.
How do I prevent spills when transferring milk from the Haakaa Shell?
The Shell is designed to lie flat on its back after use, preventing spills. When ready to transfer milk, open the plug and pour the milk through the convenient outlet into your storage container.
Can the Haakaa Shell Breast Pump help increase milk supply?
While the Haakaa Shell can assist in milk collection, it may not be as effective at increasing milk supply as traditional breast pumps or direct breastfeeding, as it lacks the repetitive sucking motion that stimulates milk production.
What should I do if the suction feels uncomfortable?
If the suction feels uncomfortable, gently press the valve to release some pressure and adjust the suction strength. Ensure the Shell is positioned correctly over your nipple for optimal comfort.
