Hand expressing milk
Sometimes it's better to take matters in your own hands...
- Hand expression is the most effective method of breast milk expression, other than breastfeeding a baby.
- With some practice, our hands can express more milk in less time than a modern breast pump (Morton et al. 2009).
- Hand expressed milk has a higher fat content than pumped milk (Morton et al., 2012). That's good for baby's growth and prevents clogged ducts.
- Using your own hands feels pleasant and satisfying, especially when done ergonomically and without wasting milk.
- kindestCup provides the perfect shield and reservoir to catch hand expressed milk, even if it sprays and drips in every direction.
-The ergonomic design can be used in comfortable upright or laid back positions and works right- and left handed.
Saving leaking breast milk
If you leak while nursing, collecting drip milk is easy and effortless.
- kindestCup is a hands-free milk saver that suctions to the breast to passively collect drip milk.
- kindestCup has an exceptionally gentle and secure latch and is more compact compared to other milk catchers.
- The powerful suction feels gentle because it is distributed over a large area thanks to the wide opening.
- kindestCup doesn't pull on the sensitive nipple and areola. It attaches further back on the breast
- kindestCup even works for side-lying nursing!
- No flange! One size fits all.

Cup feeding
Once you captured your milk, you or someone else can feed it to baby directly from kindestCup.
- Cup feeding is completely natural for babies. Even newborns can do it! kindestCup has a soft, flexible rim that gently conforms to baby's tiny mouth and minimizes spills.
- No artificial nipples, no nipple confusion.
- According to lactation professionals, cup feeding is the preferred feeding alternative for breastfed babies because it does not interfere with breastfeeding. It doesn't affect baby's ability to return to the breast.
- Some dentists recommend cup feeding to promote healthy oral-facial development
- Cup feeding may be beneficial for babies who get gassy or colicky from bottle-feeding.

Who is kindestCup for?
You are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed and
- you want to express and collect breast milk
* to manage low supply or over supply
* to protect existing milk supply
* to deal with leaking breasts or prevent clogged ducts
- you or another caregiver want to feed baby breast milk off the breast
You're not crazy about pumping...
- pumps don't respond well to your body and you need an alternative
* you have a healthy milk supply but the pump barely gets any milk
* pumping feels uncomfortable or painful
* pump output is erratic and unpredictable which creates unnecessary stress and worries.
Don't worry, you're not alone! 62% of pump users report pump related problems (Qi et al, 2014), so it's good to have other options!
- pumping is limiting your lifestyle or makes you feel trapped (bulky, noisy, hard to clean, needs power/ charging)
- you are already hand expressing or hands-on pumping.
- you like the simplicity of a silicone breast pump like Haakaa, but you need something more versatile that also works when you're away from baby.
There are issues with bottle feeding.
- you want to avoid nipple confusion to protect your breastfeeding relationship
- baby refuses the bottle
- there are issues with bottle feeding and you need another option
* baby has a hard time suckling due to congestion
* bottle feeding makes baby gassy or colicky
You honour your body, your community and our planet
- you trust your body and our ancient female wisdom.
- you like to support a small, mom-operated business.
- you prefer to invest a product that can be easily re-purposed when you are done breastfeeding.
