Collecting milk with Haakaa
I’m 10weeks postpartum, exclusively breast feeding our 3rd (I didn’t really have engorgement nor do I have much leaking with letdown but I seem to have enough to feed). Life is a bit crazy with 3 under 6 so I’m finding it hard to balance kids and sterilize all the bits and pieces to pump… which means I have no milk to allow others to bottle feed our babe). Has anyone started using a Haakaa “pump” this late post birth? Do you have to use it from the start to really benefit from the suction?

I had no issue collecting milk/starting a freezer stash with the haakaa
I collected a lot of milk with haakaa and started around the same time. It's very easy to use. The more you do it the more you'll collect.

I started using the haaka around that time. I don't use it every day (maybe a few times a week when I find time). I typically use it for suction and kind of hand express into the haaka. I have an under supply and feel like it definitely helped get my supply up when I was using it more diligently.
