haakaa Gen.1 Manual Breast Pump 100ml & 4ml Colostrum Collectors

Our review of the haakaa Gen.1 Manual Breast Pump combo finds it best suited for new and expecting mothers who want a simple, no-fuss solution for early milk expression and colostrum collection. The single biggest reason to buy is ease of use: the kit combines a hands-free, silicone breast pump with ready-to-use colostrum collectors so moms can catch let-down or collect prenatal colostrum without cords, noise, or complicated assembly. For anyone looking for a compact, hospital-bag-ready starter kit, this set covers both initial colostrum needs and early milk gathering in one package.

Key Features

• Complete starter kit: Includes a 100ml Gen.1 silicone breast pump plus six 4ml colostrum collectors so mothers can start collecting prenatal colostrum and early milk immediately.
• Hands-free collection: The Gen.1 pump uses natural suction so users can collect or catch let-down without cords, batteries, or complex parts.
• Soft, comfortable collectors: Colostrum collectors have soft nib tips designed for gentle, comfortable placement when harvesting liquid gold.
• Safe materials: Made from 100% medical-grade silicone that is BPA-, PVC-, and phthalate-free for peace of mind during feeding and storage.
• Hygienic storage and feeding: The kit includes a lidded feeding cup for hygienic transfer or direct feeding when small volumes of colostrum are needed.
• Easy cleaning and portability: All parts are dishwasher- and sterilizer-safe and the set is compact enough for a hospital bag or on-the-go use.

Who It's For

This set is ideal for expecting moms preparing to collect prenatal colostrum, parents who want a quiet and compact option for early milk expression, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance, manual pump that doubles as a catch cup. The included sterile colostrum collectors make it especially useful for infants who require small, measured feeds or for storing precious first drops.

Those who need high-volume pumping, an electric pump for exclusive pumping, or integrated double-pumping functionality should look elsewhere; this is a single, manual 100ml pump focused on simplicity and portability rather than heavy-duty, long-term expression.
