The only thing I don’t love about the hakaa is that since it mainly catches your letdown, you could end up with a bottle comprised entirely of foremilk. I know that causes some tummy troubles in kiddos (mine included). I used it, but I had to be sure to mix the hakaa milk with other pumped milk. But to be totally honest, the hakaa was sort of annoying. It didn’t stay on, sometimes it was too much/too little suction. The idea was good but the execution leaves a bit to be desired.

Yeah, as others have said it's not perfect - I'm a B/C cup when nursing (A when not!) so I don't even have huge boobs and I have suction issues. It is a major juggling act to hold the baby, keep a finger or 2 on the hakaa pump so if I feel the suction going I can grab it so it doesn't spill everywhere. I only use it to catch the letdown. I find once my milk starts letting down on the side where it is, I can squeeze it some which does help more milk to come out- not like a regular pump but not just like putting a burp cloth there or whatever. I have gotten a fair amount of milk out (3-4 oz) when I'm engorged. It really was awesome in the first few weeks when I was the most engorged but didn't want to create too much of an oversupply by pumping a lot. I don't use it much now (baby is almost 3 months) except maybe the middle of the night if I feel really engorged. I still like it and really wish I had it with my first baby!

My LO didn't have any issues with foremilk vs hindmilk; once she was on bottles I just made sure to not only use foremilk for all bottles in the day.
