Does anyone have or use a Haaka non electric breast pump? I was thinking of using it to catch and store milk that would otherwise leak while I'm breastfeeding. Also as a means to stock up a little bit so that I could leave baby for more than an hour with her dad if I needed to get a haircut or wanted to get nails done if I was invited to. Does it work? I really do not want another electric pump, I rarely used mine and I was constantly replacing the tubes because they'd look gross and didn't clean very well. The pump also caused most of the pain I had with breastfeeding. After I stopped using it the pain went away within a week. So I really don't want an electric pump again. Is there any other brand of hand pump you'd suggest?

It works, you’ll just get less than if you were to electric pump. I maybe get an ounce all day. It’s so easy to use though, and it’s a nice way to get something when you otherwise wouldn’t.

Did you happen to have a Medela? I had the same issues with my Medela. I had zero issues with my Spectra. No gross tubes and no pain. I used a Haakaa on one side while I was manually pumping the other side. I used an Avent manual pump. It seemed to work pretty good. I preferred the Spectra though. It pulled the most milk.

One of the best things i own!!! I can’t live without it!!! I get 2-3 oz off of the opposite breast when feeding, about the same amount as i would get using electric pump and it doesn’t hurt like electric does.

Are you actively pumping with it or is that just from nursing on the other side?

I personally hate my haakaa lol
I’m looking to get something called “ lacticups and you can just pop it in when you feed and it will do the same thing as the haakaa

I liked it. But it does suck out more than you would leak without it. I personally couldn't use it all the time because the next feeding my son would be mad there wasn't as much for him lol. I only used it when I was super full in the morning. But Amazon has a off brand that is cheaper and works just as well.
