Why is colostrum so important for babies?

It plays a vital role as your baby's first food - it's rich in nutrients, sets up your bub's digestive system and provides antibodies to boost their developing immunity! 
 

Many mamas express colostrum antenatally to give their little ones the best start possible - but its traditional collection in single-use plastic syringes is incredibly wasteful & harmful to our planet. To provide a more sustainable solution, we at Haakaa have come up with the Silicone Colostrum Collector! So what makes it a better choice? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Unlike plastic, our medical grade silicone won't leach nasty toxins, which means it's safer for your baby. It's also recyclable, so it's safer for the planet! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Our collectors are reusable over & over again, which means the environmental impact they have is much less than that of single-use syringes. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Because our collectors work by suctioning up your colostrum, they're super easy to use with one hand.

4. Silicone collectors are incredibly easy to clean and sterilise - just boil in water for 2-3 minutes! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Silicone is much more durable than plastic, and won't break down into pieces of microplastic that pollute our planet. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Our collectors can be multi-purposed for other uses after feeding your baby your colostrum - as a baby medicine dispenser, a dropper for essential oils, a travel container for creams, and so much more!

Every little step we take today impacts our future and our planet. Make the eco-conscious decision for yourself, and your little one.
