How To Clean Haakaa After Each Use

I actually accidentally put my first haakaa breast pump in the dishwasher and learned this lesson the hard way 4.

How to clean haakaa after each use. The original haakaa is a single lightweight piece of silicone. If your haakaa starts to get full or heavy remove it and pour the milk into a storage container and then reattach. When you re ready to use it take it out of its storage bag and fold back the flange of the haakaa. No extra time and super easy to clean. Don t clean your haakaa with regular soap.

This is the secret step. It helped so much with my engorgement and usually gives me enough milk throughout the day to fill a 6 oz freezer bag and a 4 oz bottle for my husband to do a feed so i can nap one mom wrote. I also only get about 1 oz total per day doing this. The instructions just say clean throughly and give separate instructions on sterilisation. Others use it mainly to relieve engorgement.

It s very easy to keep clean. P s we are 6 days postpartum. Fold over the flange next you ll fold the flange down. I would clean my haakaa with dish soap and water after every use and sterilize it once a week. When you first receive yours you want to be sure to clean with mild soap and water and sterilize before use.

Originally there was only one type of haakaa. To sterilize it simply put it in boiling water for about three minutes. I use the haakaa for each breast and then store in the fridge. First you ll need to sterilize your haakaa and you can do so by placing in boiling water for 3 5 minutes of by placing in the dishwasher and choosing the sanitize wash cycle. I only use my haakaa once on each breast in the morning so this routine may not work for you.

Just a quick questions for those of you that have one. Once it s cool and i get a spare min i add it to a bottle. You don t have to take apart and wash a whole bunch of pieces you just need to wash it up a bottle brush will help and sterilise it. Folding back the flange will make sure you have a fitting suction and seal so your haakaa doesn t fall off while collecting. That s one of my favourite things about it after a lot of pumping and a lot of pump washing.
