The Haakaa Oral Feeding Syringe is a needle-free oral device designed to help you give your baby medicine, expressed milk or liquid feeds without the mess and waste that can come with a standard syringe. Instead of a hard nib, it uses a soft, pacifier-style silicone teat that baby can suck on while you slowly press the plunger, which can make feed and medicine time a little easier with a premature or fussy little one.
The 10ml barrel is made from food-grade silicone and non-toxic PP plastic, with a clearly marked measuring bar so you can read the volume you've drawn up. The soft teat sits behind a pacifier-style shield, and the whole device comes apart for cleaning \u2014 practical detail for something you'll be reaching for often.
How it works
- Dual-angled ports: Two ports on either side of the nipple tip disperse the liquid sideways into baby's cheeks rather than towards the back of the throat, which is designed to help reduce the risk of choking.
- Soft silicone teat: The pacifier-style teat gives baby something familiar to suck on during a feed, instead of relying on a hard tip and your finger.
- Pacifier-style shield: The shield around the teat adds a layer of safety while the device is in baby's mouth.
How to use
- Measure the correct dose of medicine into the syringe, then double-check the amount against the measuring bar.
- Position your baby on your lap, facing away from you.
- Introduce the teat into their mouth and, once they start to suck, slowly push the plunger in.
Always follow the dose specified on your medicine's label or by your pharmacist or clinician \u2014 this device measures and delivers the dose, it doesn't set it. If you're unsure about a dose, concentration or the instructions on a medicine, check with a pharmacist or prescriber.
Cleaning and care
Wash the syringe before and after each use. It comes apart for easier cleaning, and although it is dishwasher safe, hand washing in warm soapy water and rinsing and drying thoroughly is recommended. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2\u20133 minutes. Use only soft bristle brushes or soft sponges, as harsh scourers can scratch the surface, and avoid bleach-based cleaners or sterilising tablets on your Haakaa products.
