  "question": "Can using a silicone breast pump raise milk supply too much?",
  "answer": "The checked facts do not say whether these pumps raise milk supply. Haakaa Gen 2: The Haakaa Gen 2 is a passive silicone milk catcher, not a pump; it suctions onto the non-nursing breast and collects let-down that would otherwise soak a nursing pad. Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base 5 oz (150 ml): It is used to relieve engorgement when milk first comes in and supply is being established. Haakaa Generation 2 Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base & Silicone Cap (Gen 2): It cannot express milk on demand, cycle like an electric pump or build a stash on a schedule, and suction cannot be increased step by step.",
