The Haakaa collector is made of 100% medical grade silicone, which means it won't leach nasty toxins and can be safely stored in the fridge or freezer. It's easy-to-use and reuse, making it the ideal option for mums both before and after birth!
This Silicone Colostrum Collector Set contains a pair of our larger 20ml collector with its own sticker for convenient labelling of each tube.
Please note: Ensure clearance from your health professional prior to antenatal expressing as there may be a risk of early labour.

FAQs
How to safely and effectively use the Colostrum collector?
Collect:
Ensure collector is sterlised before use. Sterilise by using any steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes.
Gently squeeze the collector body to suction colostrum drops straight from your nipple, using the nib.
Alternatively, remove the nib and express directly into the collector body.
Store:
Attach label, taking care to label with your name and date & time of expression.
Store in your fridge or freezer according to your country’s breastmilk storage guidelines.
Feed:
There is no need to transfer your colostrum between containers.
Perfectly-sized nib to drop-feed into the corner of baby’s mouth. Before feeding, warm colostrum by running the collector under warm water until colostrum reaches room temperature.
Note: Once a baby feeds from the nib end, it is no longer sterile. Sterilise before re-use.
