Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector Set: Gentle Collection, Peace of Mind
For mothers wishing to collect precious colostrum before or after birth, the Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector Set offers a safe, reusable alternative to single-use syringes. Each 4ml collector is made from 100% medical-grade silicone, which is free from BPA, phthalates, and toxins. They come pre-sterilized, so you can use them immediately. Because they're reusable, you can express and store colostrum in the fridge or freezer without worry. The set includes six collectors, giving you ample supply for building a stash.
Why Choose This Product?
Traditional colostrum collection often uses plastic syringes that are not environmentally friendly and can leach chemicals. Haakaa's silicone collectors are soft, flexible, and durable, making them easy to express milk directly into the bulb. They can be boiled to sterilize, reused many times, and are gentle on your hands. The 4ml size is perfect for collecting small amounts, especially in the early days.
How to Use and Store
To collect, gently squeeze the bulb, place the opening over your nipple, and release to create a gentle suction. After collection, remove and cap with the included plug (if available) or place in a storage bag. These collectors can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours or in the freezer (without overfilling) for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge, reheat gently, and feed with a spoon or syringe.
Reusing and Caring for Your Collectors
Each collector is reusable up to 5 times if properly sterilized. After each use, wash with warm soapy water and sterilize by boiling for 3-5 minutes. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
