Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Breast Milk Collector 75ml (1 Pk)

The Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Breast Milk Collector is a discreet, portable device designed to collect breast milk leakage and let-down throughout the day. Made from 100% high-quality, food-grade silicone, it attaches securely to your breast with light suction and sits comfortably inside your bra. This gentle suction helps hold the collector in place without actively drawing out additional milk, making it ideal for mothers who experience leakage and wish to save every precious drop without increasing their milk supply. Once you've finished collecting, simply open the plug on top and pour the milk into a container or bottle for storage.

While both products are designed to assist breastfeeding mothers, they serve different purposes. The Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump generates continuous suction to actively express milk from the breast. In contrast, the Ladybug Milk Collector is designed to passively collect milk that naturally leaks or lets down during breastfeeding or throughout the day. It does not actively draw out milk but instead captures what would otherwise be lost, making it a convenient option for mothers who experience leakage and want to save their milk without stimulating additional production.

It's recommended to wear the Ladybug Milk Collector for no longer than 2 hours at a time. This duration ensures that the collected milk remains safe for your baby, as breast milk can be safely kept at room temperature for up to four hours. If you need to wear the collector for longer periods, it's advisable to empty the milk into a safe storage container every 2-3 hours, store it appropriately, and then clean the collector before reusing it.

No, the Ladybug Milk Collector is designed to be discreet and is not visible under clothing. Its one-piece design is made of soft, flexible silicone, allowing it to fit comfortably and unobtrusively inside your bra without creating noticeable lumps or bulges. This makes it suitable for wearing throughout the day, even in public settings.

After each use, it's important to clean and sterilize the Ladybug Milk Collector to ensure hygiene and safety. You can sterilize it using any steam sterilizing system or by boiling it in water for 2-3 minutes. Avoid using bleach-based agents or sterilizing tablets, as they may damage the silicone. Do not use UV sterilizers, as they can impact the product's lifespan. For cleaning, use soft bristle brushes or sponges to prevent scratching the surface. Exposure to detergents may cause the silicone to appear cloudy; therefore, it's recommended to use a gentle, baby-safe dish soap. Store the collector in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.

While it's possible to wear the Ladybug Milk Collector while sleeping to prevent leaks and stains, it's important to note that breast milk collected overnight should not be stored at room temperature for more than 4 hours. If you sleep with the collector on for longer than this period, the milk collected may not be safe for your baby. To ensure safety, consider setting an alarm to remove and store the collected milk appropriately during the night.
