haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector Kit 4ml 👶

This silicone colostrum collector kit from haakaa helps capture and store small amounts of early breast milk safely and hygienically, making it easier to preserve nutrient-rich drops when they appear in late pregnancy or during early lactation. The compact kit includes ready-to-use collectors and simple accessories for storage and labelling, so collecting colostrum can be done discreetly between feeds.

Key Points

The kit contains six 4 ml silicone collectors, each supplied pre-sterilised and ready to use, together with a cotton cleaning wipe, six label stickers and a portable storage case. The soft silicone design is free from BPA according to the manufacturer, and each collector seals with a leak-proof cap so you can store collected colostrum directly in the fridge or freezer. The set is intended for repeated use after cleaning and sterilisation, offering an alternative to single-use plastic containers for new parents.

• Quantity: 6 collectors, 1 cotton cleaning wipe, 6 label stickers, 1 storage case

Benefits

Using small dedicated collectors reduces the need to transfer minute amounts of colostrum between receptacles, which can help maintain hygiene and reduce waste. The soft funnel-shaped collector sits comfortably against the breast to catch drops without suction or electrical parts, which may be helpful in the immediate postpartum period. Labels included in the kit make it straightforward to date and identify portions for refrigerated or frozen storage, and the compact case keeps items organised for hospital bags or at home.

Practical Tips

Wash the collectors in warm soapy water after each use and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for boiling for 2 to 3 minutes to sterilise before reuse. Consider keeping a few filled collectors in the fridge for short-term use and transferring to the freezer if longer storage is required, bearing in mind standard breast milk storage guidelines. For mothers with very small volumes of colostrum, this kit can make collection less fiddly, although it may not suit those who prefer pump-based collection systems. Also consider that the 4 ml capacity is designed for small yields so larger quantities will require multiple collectors.
