The Haakaa is a single piece of soft silicone that suctions onto the breast and collects the letdown from the side the baby is not on. No motor, no tubes, nothing to assemble at 4 a.m. Parents who use it are surprised by how many ounces it quietly saves over a week, which is milk that would otherwise soak a pad.
It is a baby shower add-on from someone who nursed, tucked in with the bigger gift, and the kind of thing a new mother would not think to buy until another mother tells her. It also relieves engorgement in the first weeks.
Four ounces, food-grade silicone, sterilizes in boiling water, fits a diaper bag. It costs less than a takeout lunch and it ends up in every nursing story a parent tells.
