Collecting Your Leakage and Letdown:
1. Ensure the plug (a) is pushed into the outlet (b).
2. Centre the opening (e) over your nipple and gently press down on the back of the Ladybug.
3. Press to your breast and release to create gentle suction and begin collecting let-down.
4. The Ladybug should always be worn inside a bra to keep it secure.
5. Remove the Ladybug regularly to store your breast milk in line with your country’s safe breast milk storage guidelines. Pull out the plug from the outlet and pour the milk from the outlet into a container before storing.
NOTE: Suction is optional and helps to keep the Ladybug in place in your bra. The Ladybug will only collect milk that would have leaked anyway. It won’t draw out any extra milk.
Cleaning & Care
Clean after each use. We strongly recommend cleaning and sterilising your Ladybug with any steam sterilising system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. Only soft bristle brushes or soft sponges should be used to clean this product as hard scourers may scratch the surface. Exposure to detergent may make the clear silicone in this product appear cloudy. Instead, we recommend using a gentle, baby-safe dish soap. Do not use any bleach-based agents or sterilising tablets to clean this product. Do not use UV sterilisers to clean this product as it may impact its lifespan.
Storage
Do not store near any sharp objects. Store product in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight.
Caution
Always follow your country’s guidelines and recommendations to safely express and store breast milk. Check product condition regularly.
Replace if this product shows any signs of damage. This product is not a toy. Do not use this product for anything other than its intended use. Adult supervision is required. Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
Please ensure you are familiar with your country’s guidelines on the safe storage of breast milk. Empty your Ladybug regularly to store your breast milk according to these guidelines. Consult your midwife or lactation consultant if you have any concerns before use. This product is to be used inside your bra – its suction is not strong enough to hold it in place without a bra.

Better than nursing pads
Super practical. I use them at home instead of nursing pads. But they’re also good when you’re out and about, as you hardly notice them.

Amazing little collector
This has been absolutely perfect in my bf during, especially in the early days when my let down was abundant. My baby is now 4months and i still pop on from time to time to catch any excess milk he has left behind.

Easy to use and clean!
The ladybug silicone breast milk collectors are super easy to use! You just place a ladybug on the opposite breast of the one you are feeding your baby with to collect any extra milk you may be producing from that breast. The suction is very good and the ladybug can fit comfortably in a nursing bra without having to worry about it falling off. It is an easy and great alternative to a pump!

Clever and helpful must-have
I recently tried the Haakaa silicone ladybug milk collector. What an ingenious little breastfeeding tool! It was so easy to use, and as advertised, using very light suction to the breast to collect (not pump!) any dripping or leaking milk as you nurse. I was surprised how much milk was collected each time I use it. Even if you don’t plan to feed baby that milk from a bottle, it’s always useful for baby’s bath or something. And it was so nice not to worry about leaking through nursing pads or bra or shirt! No one could see I was using it, so it’s very discreet too. Overall, I would highly recommend this item for any nursing mom.

Life saver !
When I had my baby I had a huge oversupply of milk, every time I fed her the opposite breast would literally gush while a fire hose!
I soaked through nursing pads, had a puddle of milk that soaked me and my baby, and wasted so much milk.
When I finally got Hakkaa ladybugs they were gentle enough to not encourage more milk, and collected all my fallout.
It wasn’t until I got the ladybug that I realised I was leaking on average 2 litres a day for around 6 months (it gradually slowed over time thankfully)
I was able to donate my extra milk to 4 other newborns in need. Thank you Hakka for this amazing product!
