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: By opening the plug to release suction and placing the Shell in your bra, it passively collects leaking milk, functioning as a breast pad alternative.
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 Wearable Breast Pump?
After each use, wash the Shell with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. To sterilize, boil it in water for 2-3 minutes or use a steam sterilizer. Avoid using bleach-based cleaners or hard scourers to prevent damage.
Can I use the Haakaa Shell while engaging in physical activities?
It's recommended not to use the Shell during vigorous physical activities or while operating heavy machinery, as movement may cause spills or dislodgement.
How much milk can the Haakaa Shell hold?
The Haakaa Shell has a capacity of 75ml (approximately 2.5 ounces), making it suitable for collecting let-down milk or small pumping sessions.
Is the Haakaa Shell suitable for exclusive pumping?
While the Haakaa Shell is excellent for collecting let-down milk and occasional pumping, it may not be ideal for exclusive pumping due to its manual operation and limited capacity.
Does the Haakaa Shell come in different sizes?
The Haakaa Shell is available in a 75ml size. For those needing a larger capacity, Haakaa offers other products like the 120ml version.
Can the Haakaa Shell help increase milk supply?
The Haakaa Shell can assist in collecting milk and may help stimulate supply by removing milk from the breast. However, it may not be as effective as traditional electric pumps or direct breastfeeding for significantly increasing milk supply.
Is the Haakaa Shell comfortable to wear for extended periods?
The Shell is designed with a concave shape to mold to your breast for a secure fit. However, comfort can vary among individuals, and it's advisable to monitor for any discomfort during extended use.
How do I prevent spills when using the Haakaa Shell?
To prevent spills, ensure the Shell is securely attached and avoid leaning forward or lying down with the plug open. After use, place the Shell on its back to keep it stable before transferring milk.
