The Haakaa Gen 3 Silicone Breast Pump Starter Pack is a manual silicone breast pump that expresses milk using natural suction, directly into its own 250ml silicone bottle. It's a cord-free, battery-free way to collect breast milk at home or on the go — a compact, single-piece pump that fits into a nappy bag as easily as it sits on a bedside table.
This starter pack is an introduction to Haakaa's Generation 3 range, built around a modular design: with a quick twist of the top you can swap the pump flange for the included variable flow teat and turn the same bottle into a feeding bottle. Made from food-grade silicone that's free from BPA, PVC and phthalates, it's designed to move with you from expressing through to feeding.
A modular system that grows with your baby
What sets the Gen 3 range apart is that the bottle base stays the same while the top changes to suit the stage you're in. The pack comes with the pump flange and a variable flow teat, and the bottle is compatible with all Generation 3 silicone bottle attachments — including a feeding spoon dispenser for starting solids, a sippy top for the move from bottle to cup, and sealing disks for storing leftover milk or food (each sold separately). It means the bottle you express into can carry on being useful well past the early feeding weeks.
How it works
- Natural suction: The soft silicone flange creates gentle suction against the breast to draw and express milk directly into the attached bottle, with no cords or batteries needed.
- Twist-to-swap top: A quick twist releases the flange so you can switch to the teat or another Gen 3 attachment on the same bottle base.
- Flower Stopper seal: The included Flower Stopper gives a secure, spill-proof seal to contain and preserve expressed milk until you're ready to use it.
The flexible silicone is designed to accommodate different breast sizes, and the whole pump is small and light enough to express quickly and discreetly on a long flight, a road trip, or anywhere away from a plug point.
Cleaning and care
Clean the pump after each use. The silicone components are microwave-safe, steriliser-friendly and boil-resistant, so Haakaa recommends sterilising with a steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2–3 minutes. Use only soft-bristle brushes or soft sponges, as hard scourers can scratch the silicone. Avoid bleach-based agents, sterilising tablets and UV sterilisers, as these can shorten the lifespan of the pump. Exposure to detergent may make the silicone look cloudy over time. Store it in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight.
Pandylane Pro Tip: When compressing the pump, squeeze it on the bottom edge rather than in the middle of the container — this keeps pressure off the bottle rim and helps maintain the seal.
