Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Breast Milk Collector Set 2 Pack

The Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Breast Milk Collector Set is a hands-free way to catch the let-down and leakage that would otherwise be absorbed by a nursing pad. Worn discreetly inside your bra, each one-piece silicone collector sits with the opening centred over your nipple and uses light suction to stay securely in place, gathering the milk your body releases while you feed or go about your day. This two-pack gives you a collector for each breast, with a 40 ml capacity each.

Because it needs no cords, batteries or manual pumping, the Ladybug is quiet and completely portable. You can wear one on the opposite side while breastfeeding to collect the let-down that flows during a feed, or wear one on each breast through the day to keep your clothes drier while building up a stash between feeds or pumping sessions. The light suction is there mainly to hold the collector in place \u2014 it collects the milk that would have leaked anyway, rather than drawing out extra milk.

How it works

• Light suction hold: A gentle squeeze creates soft suction that keeps the collector centred and secure inside your bra, so it stays put while you move.
• Passive collection: It gathers let-down and leakage into the cup, saving the milk that a nursing pad would normally soak up.
• Stand-upright design: Small feet on the base let the collector stand on a flat surface after use, which helps prevent spills before you transfer the milk.
• Easy-pour outlet: A plug in the top outlet keeps milk contained while worn; pull it out to pour the milk into a container or bottle when you're done.

Materials and cleaning

Each collector is made from 100% food-grade silicone and is free from BPA, PVC and phthalates. The one-piece shape has no joints, cracks or edges where bacteria can build up, which makes it straightforward to keep clean. Clean it after each use with a soft-bristle brush or soft sponge \u2014 avoid hard scourers, which can scratch the surface. To sterilise, use a steam sterilising system or boil in water for 2\u20133 minutes. Do not use bleach-based agents, sterilising tablets or UV sterilisers, as these can affect the silicone and its lifespan.

How to use

1. Make sure the plug is pushed firmly into the outlet.
2. Place the collector between your breast and bra, with the opening centred over your nipple.
3. Gently squeeze the container until you feel light suction, then adjust until it feels comfortable and let your milk flow.
4. You can breastfeed on the other side, or wear a collector on each breast, while it fills.
5. Remove the collector once it has filled or you've collected the amount you want.
6. Pull out the plug and pour the milk into a storage container or bottle.

Best for

The Haakaa Ladybug Silicone Breast Milk Collector Set is a good option for parents who:

• Leak or let down on the opposite side during feeds and want to save that milk instead of losing it to a pad
• Want a quiet, cordless, battery-free way to collect milk while out and about
• Prefer a simple one-piece design that's quick to clean and sterilise

It may not be the right fit if you're looking for a device to actively express or increase your supply \u2014 the Ladybug is designed to collect the milk that leaks naturally, not to pump.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Stand each collector upright on its feet while you get a storage container ready \u2014 it's an easy way to avoid an accidental spill of the milk you've just collected.

A note on milk storage

Always follow the guidelines of your local health organisations and your healthcare team when it comes to catching let-down and storing breast milk safely. Check the collectors regularly and replace them if you notice any signs of damage.
