What is a Haakaa?
Quick answer: A Haakaa is a one-piece silicone milk collector that attaches by natural suction to the breast you are not nursing from, passively catching the letdown milk that would otherwise soak a pad. No motor, no parts, under $15.
In practice
It shines in the early oversupply weeks: many moms bank a small freezer stash from Haakaa catch alone. Milk it collects stores under the same CDC rules as pumped milk. One caution: on some moms strong suction can oversignal supply or worsen engorgement, so it is a tool, not a requirement.
