The Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector is a world-first design, providing mothers the option to express colostrum antenatally and postnatally in a safe and easy-to-use storage solution. Colostrum, also known as "liquid gold," is the thick first milk produced by the body, rich in nutrients and immune-boosting properties crucial for a newborn's development.

Collecting and storing colostrum can be beneficial for various reasons. It's the perfect composition for a newborn's needs, being higher in protein but lower in fat and sugar, making it easier for the baby to digest. Colostrum also encourages the baby's digestive system to get out their first bowel movement. Additionally, the small but mighty colostrum provides a significant boost to the baby's developing immune system.

The Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector is designed to address the needs of breastfeeding mothers. It can be used directly without the need for cleaning, as each collector comes well-packaged. The clear measurement scale, ranging from 1 to 4 ml, allows easy monitoring of the collected volume to avoid waste of the precious colostrum.

The leakproof design of the Haakaa Colostrum Collector protects the "liquid gold" and prevents any spills. After collecting the colostrum, mothers can gently squeeze the collector to feed the milk directly to their newborns, drop by drop, to prevent choking.

The Haakaa Colostrum Collector is heat and freeze resistant, allowing mothers to store the collected colostrum in the refrigerator or freezer, and heat it in a warmer directly, without the need to transfer it to another container, which can cause unnecessary waste.

For cleaning and care, it is recommended to sterilize each Haakaa Colostrum Collector before use, either with a steam sterilizing system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. Bleach-based agents should be avoided, and only soft bristle brushes or soft sponges are recommended for cleaning. Any leftover colostrum in the container should be used for one feed and then discarded.

In the first few days after birth, a newborn's milk intake needs are relatively small but gradually increase. On the first day, a baby typically needs 5-7 ml (0.1-0.2 oz) of milk, while by day 3, the need increases to 22-27 ml (0.8-1 oz). By day 7, the baby requires 45-60 ml (1.5-2 oz), and by day 30, the milk intake can range from 80-150 ml (2.5-5 oz).

The Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector, with its world-first design, provides mothers with a safe and simple solution to collect, store, and feed colostrum to their newborns, ensuring they receive the essential nutrients and immune-boosting properties during the critical early days of life.
