Thank you so much for this video tutorial because I had no idea what to do with that thing but knew I needed one! Going to use it for my next feeding with baby boy as I've been engorged...love the balloon demonstration AND THE MUG because I am SUPER clumsy and will cry over spilled milk.
I'm pregnant with my third baby and I'm learning so much more with you than with the nursing class I did before. I had low milk supply with the first two and I'm so hopeful for this new one. Thank you!
You learn something new everyday! I am currently breastfeeding baby nunber 2 and I have just learned something new. Sending everyone over to you during our Black Breastfeeding Month Event next week. Thank you. Also, you have such a calming voice.
Welcome! You got this mama! Reach out to a local lactation consultant or work with one virtually. Find your tribe and don't give up. It's all worth it in the end. Sending love.
It will help collect your let downs from the opposite breast while nursing even with low milk supply. But it may not be the most effective/efficient way to increase milk supply. A complete history is needed for an individualized plan.
Great question! The Haakaa may help in removing extra milk but may not be the most effective/efficient method for someone with low milk supply. A complete history and individualized plan of care is needed in these situations.
You shouldn't. Just breastfeed. I see lots of moms who get breast damage and inflammation from haakaa. It is really not a necessity for establishing supply.
Great question! The Haakaa pump is designed to be used while there is breast stimulation on the opposite breast - a baby who is breastfeeding effectively or a manual breast pump. Hope this helps!
Hi! Milk from different sessions CAN be combined ONLY when both are at the same temperature. DO NOT combine room temperature and cold milk. BOTH need to be at same temperature. You can store individually and then combine when they each reach the same temperature. Hope this helps!
Absolutely! Initiating breast pumping or increasing the number of pumping sessions while using the correct flange size should increase milk production. Allow up to 7 days to notice a difference. Check out my pumping videos for more guidance .
@@PrenatalYini yes i've tried.but mine was not haakaa..mybe because of the silicone it self. I also have trouble using plastic flange of electric bp since i have inverted nipple.
More information is needed to better support you. A private consult will provide an individualized plan of care and support. Consider reaching out to a local lactation consultant or do a video consult. All the best.
Hand expression is best for colostrum. th-cam.com/video/3CyVvFcL1MY/w-d-xo.html Use Haakaa 2 weeks postpartum or to help resolve engorgement as your matured milk comes in.
To make sure I understand: Baby nurses on breast 1 while I use light suction on breast 2 with Haaka. Then nurse baby on breast 2 with deeper suction on breast 1. Once baby finishes nursing on breast 2 should I use Haaka again? Or should that end the nursing session?
A haakaa is NOT needed to establish a supply or "prevent" low supply. Also a haakaa is NOT a pump, it is a passive milk collector, it will not provide stimulation to keep supply up like a baby or pump. This is bad information - as an IBCLC you should be practicing more ethically.

Hey how did it go now.
Me too had a low milk supply
Wanna try breast pumping
You have a very soothing voice and I find it easy to watch your videos and learn! Thank you
Thank you! I’m glad you’re learning with my videos. :)

Congratulations🤱🏽 and thank you! 🤗
@@PrenatalYini Thank you and you are welcome
Thank you! Will this only work while breastfeeding on opposite side or can I just use this exclusively ?
How long should you use it while breastfeading?
Thank you! New subscriber here! My baby is 3 weeks and I’m struggling with breastfeeding.

Me too 😢
Does this pump work when you already have low supply? (1-3 ounce )in 15 mins pumping sessions ?
It will help collect your let downs from the opposite breast while nursing even with low milk supply. But it may not be the most effective/efficient way to increase milk supply. A complete history is needed for an individualized plan.
Would I be able to use at 4 months after birth. I stopped because I was not supplying enough. Would I be able to achieve any milk at this time?
I wish they had this 30 years ago. Would have saved me a lot of tears. 😉
Thank you for the tips that was really helpful!!
I’m glad you found them helpful :)
Can i use haka pump after delivering baby during breastfeeding sections? Or should i use it 3 days after delivery
It provides best results once your mature milk start coming in at around day 3-5.
Can it be helpful with someone whose milk supply is really low ??
Great question! The Haakaa may help in removing extra milk but may not be the most effective/efficient method for someone with low milk supply. A complete history and individualized plan of care is needed in these situations.
Thank you for this video! I’m looking forward to watching more!
How soon after birth should I start using the haaka when breast feeding my baby?
You shouldn't. Just breastfeed. I see lots of moms who get breast damage and inflammation from haakaa. It is really not a necessity for establishing supply.
I love the Haakaa, I have 6 of them
Wow! The Haakaa is one of my favorite breastfeeding tools.
Please can I pump immediately after eating?
Or wait for hours before pumping?
How many hours am I to wait after eating before breast pumping
Absolutely. You can pump while you eat if you wish. :)
I have engorged breast will hakka pump will be the best???
Maybe this video is helpful th-cam.com/video/vx9gUo7dv1c/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful on the haakaa thank you :)
Your videos always teach me so much!! I'll be so prepared if the time ever comes!!!
Thank you for your kind words. It will happen at the right time for you. :)
I got one but it’s not working , it’s hurt a lot and no milk coming out at all
When should I start using the hakaa?
2 weeks postpartum is a good time to start. If you’re experiencing leaking before this time, you can suction the Haakaa lightly to collect milk drip.
@@PrenatalYini so before that how are we supposed to give milk to baby? breastfeed?
Suppose my babies aren't nursing, can I still use the haaka ?
Great question! The Haakaa pump is designed to be used while there is breast stimulation on the opposite breast - a baby who is breastfeeding effectively or a manual breast pump. Hope this helps!
Thanks ! I was wondering if I could pump manually and use the haaka on the other breast .
Yes, you can! :)
Ok ! Thanks !
Happy Pumping! :)
Can I combine my milk with previous pumped milk from my Hakka like from an earlier session?
Hi! Milk from different sessions CAN be combined ONLY when both are at the same temperature. DO NOT combine room temperature and cold milk. BOTH need to be at same temperature. You can store individually and then combine when they each reach the same temperature. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to start producing more milk by pumping.my baby is one month old now and i am not producing enough milk
Absolutely! Initiating breast pumping or increasing the number of pumping sessions while using the correct flange size should increase milk production. Allow up to 7 days to notice a difference. Check out my pumping videos for more guidance .
I have 4 month old boy baby can I try this
Great tips. thanks
I’m glad you’ve found them helpful.
Hi there i have a problem when i use this kind of milk collector. I will have some blisters on mynipple.. is there any solution for my case?
Have you tried adjusting position, ensuring nipple is centered?
@@PrenatalYini yes i've tried.but mine was not haakaa..mybe because of the silicone it self. I also have trouble using plastic flange of electric bp since i have inverted nipple.

Hello! Can you power pump using a haakaa?
Hi! The Haakaa pump uses passive suction. Dual electric breast pumping will be best for power pumping. Hope this helps! :)
I have a question about how to contact you with out giving personal information out publicly here on the channel.
Hi! You can contact me via my website www.prenatalyini.com
Can this be used after birth in the hospital for colostrum? Or is it best to use when your milk comes in?
Hand expression is best for colostrum.
th-cam.com/video/3CyVvFcL1MY/w-d-xo.html
Use Haakaa 2 weeks postpartum or to help resolve engorgement as your matured milk comes in.
@@PrenatalYini thank you so much for taking the time to respond you have great content 🥰
My pleasure. Congratulations!
Do you need to squeeze the base continually as you have it attached or just leave it on and not squeeze it?
To make sure I understand: Baby nurses on breast 1 while I use light suction on breast 2 with Haaka. Then nurse baby on breast 2 with deeper suction on breast 1.
Once baby finishes nursing on breast 2 should I use Haaka again? Or should that end the nursing session?
Correct! Only use the Haakaa while baby is nursing on either breast. After baby is done nursing, you’re done with the Haakaa too.
Thank you so much for your reply. Loved your video. So helpful!!
I get nothing from the pump but when I hand express I get drops
Same, I’m able to hand express but just 10 ml each time. When I pump nothing comes out, were you able to fix it? I need help

To describe it as "passive" is incorrect, it applies a light vacuum.
