A one-piece silicone collector that catches let-down milk from the other side while you feed.

We researched this for the milk that leaks from one side while baby feeds on the other. A silicone collector like the Haakaa uses gentle suction to catch it, which can add up to a small freezer stash without a full pump session. BabyGearLab rated the original one-piece Haakaa well for catching leaks. It's cheap and easy to clean. Trade-offs: it isn't a replacement for a real pump, it can be knocked over (use the lid or a suction base), and it's not the tool for building supply — talk to a lactation consultant for that.
