Here it is, the moment you’ve been waiting for: a rundown of some of Haakaa’s brand-new products! We’ve been working on these for a while, and while you may have seen some of them already, it never hurts to collect them all in one place so you can get familiar with some of the frankly amazing new things we’ve got available for you. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at them!
Microwave Steriliser Bag
Today, we’re starting off with our Microwave Steriliser Bags, and wow, are they an amazing thing to have. Sterilisers can be large, bulky, made of plastic, and difficult to use – our Steriliser Bags are none of those. Made from durable 100% food-grade silicone, these bags are the perfect way to sterilise all your baby and maternity gear without running the risk of transferring those dreaded microplastics, and they’re amazingly easy to use. Simply put 100ml of clean water in the bag, pop in your washed items to be sterilised, close the bag, and pop in the microwave! It even comes with a handy-dandy timing guide so you can make sure it’s in for just the right amount of time for the strength of your microwave. There are two varieties – the standard Microwave Steriliser Bag, and the super-duper Multipurpose Microwave Steamer & Steriliser which, due to its unique safety vent on the side, allows you to not only sterilise bottles and the like but also lets you steam food in minutes!
Silicone Mushroom Bowl & Bendy Cutlery Set
You may already have our handcrafted mushroom bowls – they’re beyond adorable and are incredibly helpful for when bubs is learning how to feed themselves, with the carefully angled walls and silicone lid & suction base. And while wood is a fantastic material, it doesn’t do so well in the dishwasher, which is why we’ve now got a silicone version! The Silicone Mushroom Bowl & Bendy Cutlery Set has a handy new silicone bowl that retains the same amazing features of the wooden one, with the added benefit of being able to drop it in the dishwasher whenever you like! This set also includes our bendy cutlery, making it even easier for your child to learn those all-important self-feeding skills. Made with a core of bendable iron and covered in a thick layer of ultra-soft silicone to protect delicate mouths, the fork and spoon of this cutlery set can be bent to any angle to suit your child – which also means they’re great regardless of whether they’re right-handed or left-handed.
Silicone Clover Teether
Teethers are popular things to have to hand and with good reason. Teething babies chew pretty much anything they can get their hands on, as the chewing helps ease the pain and discomfort so many little ones experience while their new teeth are coming through. That’s why we’ve long provided options in this area, as one is never enough and, like dummies, different babies have different preferences when it comes to the teethers they like. The Silicone Clover Teether has been designed to be both interesting and easy to hold and chew, with six clover leaves joined together in the centre. Each of these leaves has raised bumps along the edges to massage sore gums, and because they’re made of food-grade silicone, they can easily and safely be put in the fridge or freezer to get a little bit of extra cooling relief – perfect for teething babies going through a tough time!
Twin Flower Teether
The Clover Teether isn’t the only new teether we have, though. The Twin Flower Teether has been uniquely designed to soothe bubs, both through its soft, chewable petals and easy-grip handle, as well as through the dual nibs. At one end is the nipple-shaped nib that provides an extra way to calm upset babies, while the other end has a nib with soft silicone bristles to provide extra massaging to inflamed gums – how perfect is that?
Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set
Sometimes breastfeeding is much more of a struggle than movies would have us believe – and this struggle is more common than many people are aware. Luckily, there are a few ways for new mums to get started, even if they’re having to deal with a low milk supply or if their newborn is having trouble latching. The Supplemental Feeding Tube & Pouch Set is one of those ways, allowing you to feed your child supplemental milk without having to stop breastfeeding, thus continuing to stimulate milk production. The set comes with five tubes & controllers, ensuring you always have one available when you need it, and the 170ml pouch is perfect whether you need small or large quantities. It also has a convenient loop to keep the pouch fixed to your bra strap, keeping it neatly where it needs to be during use.
SqueezieDose Silicone Dispenser Set
Dispensing liquids and medications to very young children can be quite a challenge. Luckily, the Haakaa SqueezieDose Silicone Dispenser Set is here to make life a WHOLE lot easier. With a bulb base, pacifier-style dual-port nib and an extremely useful dropper tip to suit all your needs, this set is designed to make it as stress-free and straightforward to use as possible – for both you and your child. The whole set is made of safe, soft, 100% medical-grade silicone, keeping things gentle and free from hard plastics. Even better, there are bi-directional measurements that allow you to check quantities whether you’re holding the dispenser tip up or down. Rounding out the set is a handy carry case and a dedicated cleaning brush, meaning you can clean, store and transport without any difficulty at all. Easy to fill, measure, dispense, clean and store, this set really is one of the absolute must-haves for your essentials kit.
