Ladybug Silicone Milk Collector (75ml)

Unlike Haakaa's better-known Silicone Breast Pump, which uses suction to actively express milk, the Ladybug Milk Collector is passive: it simply catches whatever leaks or lets down on its own while a baby feeds from the other side, so there's no pumping action and nothing to lose to a wet breast pad. Its rounded, one-piece shape has no seams or joints, which makes it quick to rinse and boil-sterilise between uses.

Against the original Haakaa Silicone Pump, the trade-off is yield versus discretion: the pump can actively draw out several ounces through suction and is the better choice for someone deliberately building a freezer stash, while the Ladybug only collects what's already letting down and won't top up supply on its own — but it sits flatter and quieter inside a bra, so it's more wearable through a full feed without needing to check on it.

It's a low-cost way to stop wasted milk soaking into breast pads in the early weeks when letdown is strong and hard to predict, particularly for anyone tandem-feeding or feeding from one side while the other leaks. The main limitation is capacity — at 75ml it can overflow during a very heavy letdown, so it still needs checking partway through a longer feed rather than being a fully set-and-forget solution.
