Girl, I oversupply on purpose for my baby to have enough milk for daycare and hoping she will only have breast milk for as long as I can provide a good amount. Honestly, after watching your first video, I’ve been eating about a sleeve of double stuff Oreos a day and my supply has just been ridiculous since then! So thank you so much for that tip! So glad to find a working mama still pumping for her baby. Gives me motivation!
I'm so glad you mentioned a little repetitive squeezing of the hakaa because I was wondering why mine isn't working so effective at letting my letdown come through
Thank you for sharing so much information on this subject. My daughter is pregnant with her first baby and she is planning on breast feeding but she is really nervous about how she will manage. You have pretty much covered all of her concerns in this informative video.
Omg this is amazing, I fell in love w the Haakaa right away and got a second one immediately for this purpose! So good to have affirmation that the let down stimulation wasn't a crazy idea of mine lol! Awesome! And whaaat!? I LOVE oreos! Omg 🤗
Thankyou so much for explaining how you "pumped" with the haakas, i have them too but I've just been using them the normal way, but when you explained that you put them on and repeatedly squeeze them, (like how you do when pumping at work) I grabbed one of my haakas and started doing the same thing while watching this and milk came out (baby us sleep). . This is something i could have been doing in between feeds and getting extra milk to make a stash with also, but i didn't do enough research while pregnant so i never made a stash i hated waking up overnight to nurse and let my husband use formula and my then my supply plummeted... And now I exclusively pump (with my Medela). I'm a new mom and made this all harder than it should be, and now I'm already about to go back to work.. I have 2 weeks to go. But thanks. My baby is 2 months and on my first morning pump on full boobs i only get 4.5 Ounces combined and that's exactly how much she drinks right now, so there's nothing left to stash away after a pump
Try pumping more frequently even if not a lot of milk comes out at first. Eventually your body will produce more milk bc it’ll assume your baby is demanding more
Woah. You kinda blew my mind when you mentioned the double stuff oreos. I have such a better supply this time around and I have been eating double stuff oreos like crazy..so weird
Not gonna lie, I have the same theory about Oreos!!! I’ve always loved them and couldn’t have them during my pregnancy because of gestational diabetes, since I’ve been eating them again my supply has magically gone up!!!
Do you combine all your milk for the day and then freeze it or are you freezing individual pump sessions? Love seeing another working and pumping mama!
GIRL did you know they make MEGA stuffed Oreos ??? Yeah - got those today . Milk supply is on the struggle bus so 10 of those should do the trick right ? 😂
I have a spectra pump and I feel like it hurts my nipples so I’m gonna try this Bc the haaka is so much more comfortable to me and easy to take with and use
This video was so great thank you for making it! I didn’t know about haakaas with my first baby and I really wish I had! I used to just use milk catchers for the other side during feeding sessions but barely got anything out because of the lack of suction. So excited to try the haakaas to catch milk with this next baby!
I use the hakaas too but instead of holding them you can use the rubber band hack and just loop two bands together and loop the rubber band around the hakaa and hook the other end in your nursing bra clip. Works for me 🙂 even with the bigger bulky haakaa (I have one small and one large one).
When you send Emmett to daycare how many bottles do you send with him? Do you send multiple or do you just send one and have the babysitter wash it out between bottles.
If I may ask because I am struggling with that to figure: 1. How old was your son when you have started your extra pumping? 2.How does it looks like if baby need to empty both breasts for one session.. you attach him to first breast and Haaka to the other and when he is finished with first.. is there still enough milk in the second to feed him ? Or Haaka is emptying second breast and there is nothing to latch him for ?
I stopped eating Oreos and my milk supply dipped by half......My doctor husband thought I was just wanting to eat them (I have a big sweet tooth at baseline) but when I told him I wasn't producing as much, he went and bought me two packs haha
Okay, that's insane! I had no idea you could do all that with the Haakaas. I thought all you could really do was catch the letdown and just a small amount of additional milk. I will definitely be trying that.
I’ve tried this and doesn’t really work other than getting just somewhat more in addition to the let down. Electric pumps really get the most out other than the baby.
I think more jobs should offer “mother room”. I work with children, and you would think they would be more helpful for breastfeeding (working) moms in my field but they are not. I have to wait to be sent on break, and my break times are limited. We have no private rooms. The only space for employees is our general break room where people are walking in and out of...
I have a nursing room at my work but its not heated so i have to bring a hoodie or jacket to wear or else it would be so hard to pump. There's no sink either so I rinse my stuff off in the breakroom.
That's crazy. Sorry you have to go through that.. Here in oregon, they have a law that makes employers provide a private room and the appropriate break time for lactating mothers. I'm very grateful
I wish my baby only nursed from 1 side and I was able to save the other for my stash before going back to work. She’s 2 weeks old and feeds from both now to get full. Any tips for this?? I’m stressing about getting a stash before going back to work in 4 weeks.
Don't stress it will affect supply. It's okay to pump one side while nursing. . Even for a few minutes I do it and still it works. Keep eye on baby of course to make sure satisfied.
As long as baby is fed, don’t feel bad! Just do the best you can and forget the rest! I have low supply and it’s a constant effort to stay positive. I do both breasts and supplement with formula. Not how I envisioned it. But baby is healthy and gaining so need to be satisfied with that. Good luck! 👍
Thank you for your work pumping routine! I'm a teacher, so my goal is to breastfeed and then pump at work. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant, so I am trying to do all of the research and reading that I can now before my sweet girl arrives. What resources did you use to find all of your information? If I didn't have your videos, I would have no idea where to even begin. Thank you!
Congrats on your baby ! Little tip from both of my babies the first week let them cluster feed your going to be so tired but it will make your body know it make milk when ever the baby wants to nurse nurse even if it’s every five mins... it is exhausting but after the 3-5th day the milk will come down 💕
Omg I have to try the oreos!! I’ve mostly been eating healthy so my snacks are mostly fruit and in the middle of the night I’d have a bowl of porridge lol. Also drinking some nursing tea but to be honest these foods get so boring and repetitive!! Thanks for that helpful video, I also love the Haakaa it’s so convenient and simple to use!!
Excited everytime you upload a new video! You may have already mentioned this in a previous video. Did you use a phone app for breastfeeding( when to feed or pump) how often for newborn? How much?
You might want to buy a second Spectra pump from eBay for $45 so you don’t have to lug it back and forth from work everyday. I have 2 pumps and leave one at work and it’s been a time saver!
Hi Brooklyn, would you recommend starting with the haaka in the hospital while the baby is getting colostrum? Or wait until the real milk comes in? I know you said to start with it right away, but will it work that early on? If so I'll take it in my hospital bag :)
Can’t thank you enough for recommending the haakaa. I ran out and got one the day I saw your other video and at first, it was the only way I could pump. It’s still the most enjoyable way for me. I might get a second 😊
My newborn is a month old and I just purchased the Haakaa about a week ago and started using it. I didn’t know about them until watching your videos. Is it too late to really get my supply going with the haakaa? Is it too late to trick my body into increasing my supply with the haakaa? Today was the first time trying pumping with it and I got 2oz instead of my usual .5oz. So I’m hoping that I have began to up my supply but I’m just so unsure.
Just keep using it. And eventually your body will make more. But you have to keep at it every few hours. I drink also mothers milk tea three cups every day, I am drinking fenugreek pills and drink lots and lots of water. It's been a month since you posted this so its probably to late.
I just watched this video and loved it! I will have to return to work after my baby is born. Do you think pumping with a haakaa is quicker than an electrical pump or about the same? I don’t see much info on this subject but was wondering if the haakaa’s saved time. Thanks!
Hi Brooklyn, I love your videos and Emmett is adorable!! I got great tips on breastfeeding, pumping and storage from you. I’m using the haakaa pumps now and they are fabulous!! Now I’d love to know what’s your thoughts on the 3rd generation haakaa pump? I’m looking to get one with 250ml attachment as my milk fills up the normal one quite quick now. Thank you in advance 😊😊
I recently watched your breastfeedig video and I got the Haakaa breast pump yesterday. It’s amazing, I had to say thank you for sharing your experience with the haakaa, I never heard about it before, I am glad I found your video and was able to get it right away. Keep posting breastfeedig and breast pump videos! They are very helpful! Thanks
Hello I'm just finding out about you...myson was born May 28th my hacca will be here Wednesday the 5th can I still be in a good time frame to build a good stash before ai go back to work...thanks again for the videos!!!😘
They are linked- click the shop all breastfeeding products link and then breastfeeding/pumping Category. They are the yellow screw caps from Nenesupply!
How do you do it on your off days when you’re out and about running errands? Will you nurse Emmett or do you take frozen milk with you? I don’t mind nursing in public places, I just hate to stop for 20 or so minutes. So we usually end up taking frozen milk when I know we’ll be out for a few hours.
I do the same. I don't mind nursing if, say, we are at my son's baseball game and I can sit. But if I will be spending a day out shopping or running errands, I take a bottle of milk with me.
I unfortunately won't have the ability to pump that much when I go back to work. I work in a hospital lab and there is no designated area for breastpumping, so I'll have to find a room somewhere somehow to pump in. I'll probably only have the opportunity once per day at work to breastpump.
Hi! If you are in the United States you actually have a right as an employer to have adequate break times and a designated, private area (not a bathroom) to pump throughout the wor day. If they deny this you have a VERY easy lawsuit. Talk to your HR department about your needs because they legally cannot deny you that right in the USA
I see you used the medela bra to hold the pumps so you don’t have to hold them the whole time I recently bought the same bra and have the same pump the spectra but mine doesn’t fit in the bra? How do you put the flanges in the bra?
I have an older version of the bra in white and pump so I’m guessing it’s the same deal. Just stretch the front holes out enough to slide in flanges in and then adjust them.
fyi I looked for the travel cleaning kit on your amazon list and I couldn't find it under the breastfeeding essentials. I had to look for it on my own. I haven't purchased it yet but if you add it I will go through your link :)
Google is you friend everything baby, or anything. I had no clue, did a google search on how to store breast milk and got all the information I need and now I am expert 😭🤣😂
Are these good for collecting colostrum before birth? Currently hand expressing and using a manual pump but not getting much at all and the manual pump is exhausting x
I'm no expert (I only have a 4 month old) but I didn't get much pumping when all I had was colostrum. Hand expressing worked better for me. Plus, you don't need a ton of colostrum since little one's stomach is still pretty small. Best of luck! 💕
I’ve watched multiple of your pumping videos, just to learn some new things as we are ttc.... I’ll definitely be watching them over once we do conceive. I feel like this is a silly question, but were you at all nervous about breastfeeding before having a baby? I have friends who stopped because of how bad it hurt, I feel like they were just having a hard time latching correctly...
For me, it was painful for the first 2 or 3 weeks. I wanted to give up. But I didn't, and here I am 2.5 months into breastfeeding and I feel no pain at all.
I had flat nipples and had to use shields until 5 months pp. I had quite a bit of discomfort in the beginning even with the shield but it went away. We just hit 1 year between breastfeeding and pumping and I have weaned off of the pump. We still breastfeed first thing in the morning and right before bed. Just keep your head up no matter what and make yourself aware of possible obstacles like lip and tongue ties and whatnot.
If it hurts you are doing something wrong. Breastfeeding isn’t supposed to hurt. If that happens you should contact a lactation consultant. I’m still pregnant but I’ve been going to breastfeeding support groups and I’ve learned a lot. ❤️ keep getting more info, I did the same when we were TTC’ing and I was a life saver during this pregnancy.
When you started nursing on one side with the haaka on the other where you “pumping” the haaka? Or did you just let it sit and catch the extra by itself while you nursed on the other side. I want to use the spectra to actually pump and the haaka to catch the milk from the other side while nursing.
How long does the milk last after you’ve stored it? I’m a first time mom and I know absolutely nothing and I feel very overwhelmed with everything I need to know and do
Congrats! I'm a first time mom too! So according to the CDC freshly expressed milk left at room temperature can be good up to 4 hours, in the refrigerator up to 4 days, and in the freezer 6-12 months. If you're giving your baby the bottle and they don't finish it all, you have up to 2 hours to use it again. Also if you're taking your milk out of the freezer, once it's completely thawed (meaning no ice at all) it will last you 1-2 hours at room temperature and 24hrs while in the fridge. And you can never refreeze milk. You should also never mix freshly pumped milk with refrigerated milk! Whenever you mix it they should both be at the same temperature! Oh another tip I read, if you do decide to freeze your milk never store it on the freezer doors! Here's the link to the CDC where I got all the info: www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm Good luck!
jyoti sharma I just push the flange through the hole before I put it on! It’s a tight squeeze at first but it stretched out and now it super easy to get in and out!
I've been breastfeeding ever since my baby boy was born. He is now 4 weeks old. I breastfeed every 2-3 hrs and when I pump, I pump about 3-4 ounces each time sometimes 5 or 6 when they are super engorged. Is that good or should I be having more milk supply?
Soy Lopez07 hi, for some reason I wanted to give you my 2 cents. Your considered to be making enough milk if your baby is full when done eating and sleeping for 2-3 hours in between. And also most 4 week old babies don’t eat 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours. Sounds like you are making enough! And I bet you could pump more to be able to freeze it.
I stopped using it at work to pump because I needed to be hand free to work ! The method I used with them to pump i needed both hands squeezing constantly!
New to your channel Brooklyn. A fellow Hoosier 😌. Thank you so very much for the info. Your baby 👶🏻 is sooo cute 😌. Thank you for sharing. This information will be very helpful. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💗💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰
My daughter is 4 months, for the first 2 and half months, she couldn't latch. I was expressing ( left side only) I persevered, and she can now latch on my left. I feel like my right side has 'dried up', but there is a tiny bit there.. like 2ml 🤦♀️, could I use the haakaa for that side? When I express with a pump, I feel like it's a waste of time...
Maybe try using the haakaa on your right side while you feed your baby. But I'd say try pumping instead (your right side while feeding) cause a pump has more suction than this and maybe it'll stimulate your breast better! I'm mot an expert lol but I have a 7 week old and I was struggling with the whole "supply and demand " thing and my milk started decreasing but for a couple of days I was pumping right after feeding for 5-10 mins on each side and it increased my milk by tons! Oh and eat LOTS of granola, oats, oatmeal and drink lots of fluids, this helped a lot too Good luck!
Hello Brooklyn I love your videos, i am a 1st time mom, I am brestfeeding but I would like to take brest milk with me on the go. If by any chance could you make a video on how you travel with brest milk out to places when you dont feel like brestfeeding.
Is there anything you could do wrong with the Haakaa? I got mine yesterday and it just won‘t stick to my boob, no matter how often I try it. I really want to use it 😭😭😭 someone help me?
Fold the “collar” part back, squeeze the bottom, place onto your breast, fold the collar onto the breast and release the squeeze on the bottom. It will help suction it on.
Exclusively breastfed means only breastmilk. Pumping is breastfeeding ♡

Try pumping more frequently even if not a lot of milk comes out at first. Eventually your body will produce more milk bc it’ll assume your baby is demanding more
The “correct “ technique really doesn’t matter, the correct one is whatever works for you!
Woah. You kinda blew my mind when you mentioned the double stuff oreos. I have such a better supply this time around and I have been eating double stuff oreos like crazy..so weird
I missed Emmet in this video!!
I am only 18 with no plans to have kids yet I’m still making notes and I just love your channel so much:))
Not gonna lie, I have the same theory about Oreos!!! I’ve always loved them and couldn’t have them during my pregnancy because of gestational diabetes, since I’ve been eating them again my supply has magically gone up!!!
Thank you for the stimulation tip. Wasn’t getting that from anywhere else!
I agree just stick them one no need to push back the flange . I have an over supply because of my Haakaas
Do you then still give it a squeeze squeeze technique to stimulate flow or just squeeze the air out and let it come naturally?
Do you combine all your milk for the day and then freeze it or are you freezing individual pump sessions?
Love seeing another working and pumping mama!
GIRL
did you know they make MEGA stuffed Oreos ??? Yeah - got those today . Milk supply is on the struggle bus so 10 of those should do the trick right ? 😂
I wish I would have known about haakaa early on when I was leaking. Now I can’t produce a leak to save my life how can I get a constant flow???
WysdomD McWeddington but you can still use it while breastfeeding one side it helps alot
Someone recommended this to me. So I am here to check them out. Thanks for the how-to.
You can get pump directly into milk bags too! pumpingmamas.com/how-to-pump-directly-into-storage-bags/
I have a spectra pump and I feel like it hurts my nipples so I’m gonna try this Bc the haaka is so much more comfortable to me and easy to take with and use
You should never dry pump, use oil to lubricate the flanges!! Game changer!
@@LivesWithLay Wait what?? Does that increase your output?
I know this told but are on a few full time working mom i have found and I am so thankful for this video.

Ive heard the hakkas can fall/get kicked off by wriggly babe. Would it be a good idea to wear a pumping bra to keep from having to catch it?
That is actually a good idea and I might try

Kayla Henderson no. I started using mine at 4m postpartum and I’ve done great with it. I didn’t know about it earlier so go ahead and keep using it.
Just keep using it. And eventually your body will make more. But you have to keep at it every few hours.
I drink also mothers milk tea three cups every day, I am drinking fenugreek pills and drink lots and lots of water.
It's been a month since you posted this so its probably to late.

How do you do it on your off days when you’re out and about running errands? Will you nurse Emmett or do you take frozen milk with you? I don’t mind nursing in public places, I just hate to stop for 20 or so minutes. So we usually end up taking frozen milk when I know we’ll be out for a few hours.
I want to take bottled breast milk. I don't want to stop either. (Currently waiting on baby.
I do the same. I don't mind nursing if, say, we are at my son's baseball game and I can sit. But if I will be spending a day out shopping or running errands, I take a bottle of milk with me.
I unfortunately won't have the ability to pump that much when I go back to work. I work in a hospital lab and there is no designated area for breastpumping, so I'll have to find a room somewhere somehow to pump in. I'll probably only have the opportunity once per day at work to breastpump.
Hi! If you are in the United States you actually have a right as an employer to have adequate break times and a designated, private area (not a bathroom) to pump throughout the wor day. If they deny this you have a VERY easy lawsuit. Talk to your HR department about your needs because they legally cannot deny you that right in the USA
I see you used the medela bra to hold the pumps so you don’t have to hold them the whole time I recently bought the same bra and have the same pump the spectra but mine doesn’t fit in the bra? How do you put the flanges in the bra?
Same for me it wont fit in the bra
I have an older version of the bra in white and pump so I’m guessing it’s the same deal. Just stretch the front holes out enough to slide in flanges in and then adjust them.
chemi.y wasn’t possible w this bra it was not stretchy had to get a different one to fit the flanges
Okay, I want to know how many people have started eating Oreos and if their supply went up?! ;)
Omg I wanna try this lol
@Brooklyn Maldonado how long do you pump for each time?
🤔 you might be in to something with this oreo thing!!! 😂😂
So do you recommend taking them to the hospital with you and use them after baby is born and during first few feedings?
Rachel Elizabeth no I would wait until you’re home from hospital and you’re milk is in and baby is doing well nursing!
fyi I looked for the travel cleaning kit on your amazon list and I couldn't find it under the breastfeeding essentials. I had to look for it on my own. I haven't purchased it yet but if you add it I will go through your link :)
Erin gomes If you still haven’t found it...Boon Cogs Water Gears Bath Toys Set www.amazon.com/dp/B01MDNXVU7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_at4lEbDGDT677
I am too excited for this 😂
do you need to sterilise the Haakaa's inbetween pumping sessions?
Definitely wash it.
how do you store your pumping supplies? also, any tips on thawing breastmilk? thanks!
Google is you friend everything baby, or anything. I had no clue, did a google search on how to store breast milk and got all the information I need and now I am expert 😭🤣😂
Are these good for collecting colostrum before birth? Currently hand expressing and using a manual pump but not getting much at all and the manual pump is exhausting x
I'm no expert (I only have a 4 month old) but I didn't get much pumping when all I had was colostrum. Hand expressing worked better for me. Plus, you don't need a ton of colostrum since little one's stomach is still pretty small. Best of luck! 💕
I’ve watched multiple of your pumping videos, just to learn some new things as we are ttc.... I’ll definitely be watching them over once we do conceive. I feel like this is a silly question, but were you at all nervous about breastfeeding before having a baby? I have friends who stopped because of how bad it hurt, I feel like they were just having a hard time latching correctly...
For me, it was painful for the first 2 or 3 weeks. I wanted to give up. But I didn't, and here I am 2.5 months into breastfeeding and I feel no pain at all.
I had flat nipples and had to use shields until 5 months pp. I had quite a bit of discomfort in the beginning even with the shield but it went away. We just hit 1 year between breastfeeding and pumping and I have weaned off of the pump. We still breastfeed first thing in the morning and right before bed. Just keep your head up no matter what and make yourself aware of possible obstacles like lip and tongue ties and whatnot.
If it hurts you are doing something wrong. Breastfeeding isn’t supposed to hurt. If that happens you should contact a lactation consultant. I’m still pregnant but I’ve been going to breastfeeding support groups and I’ve learned a lot. ❤️ keep getting more info, I did the same when we were TTC’ing and I was a life saver during this pregnancy.
Wilmarie Rivera have you had your baby yet?? If so, did BF hurt the first couple of weeks after all?
When you started nursing on one side with the haaka on the other where you “pumping” the haaka? Or did you just let it sit and catch the extra by itself while you nursed on the other side. I want to use the spectra to actually pump and the haaka to catch the milk from the other side while nursing.
I just let it catch let down when I was nursing! I just made sure it was suctioned on!
YOULL be surprised how much you let down ! I love this thing !!!
@@sayquay Yes!! I'm kicking myself for not using one from the get go when I was the Fountain of Milk!!
Where did you get your nursing cover?
Nicole Marie Target! I have one similar linked in the description box!
Brooklyn Maldonado thank you!!!
How long does the milk last after you’ve stored it? I’m a first time mom and I know absolutely nothing and I feel very overwhelmed with everything I need to know and do
Freshly pumped breast milk will last 4 hours outside the fridge, 6 days in the fridge, 6 months in the freezer
Congrats! I'm a first time mom too!
So according to the CDC freshly expressed milk left at room temperature can be good up to 4 hours, in the refrigerator up to 4 days, and in the freezer 6-12 months.
If you're giving your baby the bottle and they don't finish it all, you have up to 2 hours to use it again.
Also if you're taking your milk out of the freezer, once it's completely thawed (meaning no ice at all) it will last you 1-2 hours at room temperature and 24hrs while in the fridge.
And you can never refreeze milk. You should also never mix freshly pumped milk with refrigerated milk! Whenever you mix it they should both be at the same temperature!
Oh another tip I read, if you do decide to freeze your milk never store it on the freezer doors!
Here's the link to the CDC where I got all the info: www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm
Good luck!
It also depends on the temperature of your fridge or freezer! www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/recommendations/handling_breastmilk.htm
Hi I love watching your videos . You’re not favourite you tuber cause I’m new mum too!!❤️ and Emmett is such a handsome boy!❤️
In line to buying Oreos...

How do use Mandela pumping bra with spectra flanges?
jyoti sharma I just push the flange through the hole before I put it on! It’s a tight squeeze at first but it stretched out and now it super easy to get in and out!
Tried squeezing my Spectra flanges into Madela pumping bra and it worked fine. I am glad I could now put my Madela pumping bra to use. Thanks.
I did not like spectra accessories at all so I found this madela hack it’s too small pieces and I can use the madela flanges and bottles.
I've been breastfeeding ever since my baby boy was born. He is now 4 weeks old. I breastfeed every 2-3 hrs and when I pump, I pump about 3-4 ounces each time sometimes 5 or 6 when they are super engorged. Is that good or should I be having more milk supply?
Soy Lopez07 hi, for some reason I wanted to give you my 2 cents. Your considered to be making enough milk if your baby is full when done eating and sleeping for 2-3 hours in between. And also most 4 week old babies don’t eat 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours. Sounds like you are making enough! And I bet you could pump more to be able to freeze it.
You’re very lucky I can only pump 2 ounces and I’m trying everything to get more 😪
Thank you!
@@amberdawe4981 I'm sorry 😞
@@amberdawe4981 try eating oatmeal and drinking lots of water. I notice an increase in my supply when I have oatmeal
My son's name is also Emmett 😄❤
Is there any difference in the regular haakaa and the petal one?
Nope ☺️
Price
You look so much like Lori Laughlin lol
She sure does !!!
Why did you stop using the haakaa?
I stopped using it at work to pump because I needed to be hand free to work ! The method I used with them to pump i needed both hands squeezing constantly!
@@BrooklynMaldonado thank you for your response.
Your videos are very interesting and informative ❤️
New to your channel Brooklyn. A fellow Hoosier 😌. Thank you so very much for the info. Your baby 👶🏻 is sooo cute 😌. Thank you for sharing. This information will be very helpful. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💗💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰🥰
My daughter is 4 months, for the first 2 and half months, she couldn't latch. I was expressing ( left side only) I persevered, and she can now latch on my left. I feel like my right side has 'dried up', but there is a tiny bit there.. like 2ml 🤦♀️, could I use the haakaa for that side? When I express with a pump, I feel like it's a waste of time...
Maybe try using the haakaa on your right side while you feed your baby. But I'd say try pumping instead (your right side while feeding) cause a pump has more suction than this and maybe it'll stimulate your breast better! I'm mot an expert lol but I have a 7 week old and I was struggling with the whole "supply and demand " thing and my milk started decreasing but for a couple of days I was pumping right after feeding for 5-10 mins on each side and it increased my milk by tons! Oh and eat LOTS of granola, oats, oatmeal and drink lots of fluids, this helped a lot too Good luck!
Hello Brooklyn I love your videos, i am a 1st time mom, I am brestfeeding but I would like to take brest milk with me on the go. If by any chance could you make a video on how you travel with brest milk out to places when you dont feel like brestfeeding.
Is there anything you could do wrong with the Haakaa? I got mine yesterday and it just won‘t stick to my boob, no matter how often I try it. I really want to use it 😭😭😭 someone help me?
NoBetterNamesLeft that’s how I was at first but just keep trying and make sure both breast & Halas are dry
mariah avina search how to use Hakaa. U will find videos on it
Fold the “collar” part back, squeeze the bottom, place onto your breast, fold the collar onto the breast and release the squeeze on the bottom. It will help suction it on.
Thank you. I love the way you pump for your baby. Just only 3 time pump.
Great tips! I just started a new mommy channel and would love if you would check it out! Thank you! :)
