Why hand expression?
Breastfeeding is wonderful but managing lactating breasts around the clock can be challenging, despite modern breastfeeding equipment.
Recent research shows that hand expression is still an essential skill for breastfeeding moms:
Hand expressed milk has a higher fat content than pumped milk (Morton et al. 2012)
Your baby needs milk fat to grow big and strong. If left behind in the breast, this fat can cause painful clogged ducts.
Hand expression is associated with better breastfeeding outcomes (Omekara, 2018)
You can ALWAYS rely on hand expression, which means you can do more and worry less. This makes for a more sustainable balance between breastfeeding and the rest of your life.

kindestCup is the ultimate, minimalist breastfeeding gadget, now considered a post-partum essential by parents and lactation professionals around the world. It was created by Melanie Scholz, a breastfeeding mom with a PhD in biomechanics.
kindestCup embodies the following 3 principles:
Every amount of breast milk is perfect.
Our bodies can do this. We have breastfed and managed our own milk supply for millions of years.
Our babies can do this. Just don't interfere with their feeding and suckling instincts.
Melanie breastfed her two children for a combined 5+ years and even donated some breast milk along the way. Melanie wasn't prepared to choose between breastfeeding and the rest of her life. She wanted both. kindestCup is the simplest, most reliable tool she could think of that would allow her to manage her milk supply AND protect her breastfeeding relationship anytime and anywhere. After her first baby was born, she spent countless hours designing and prototyping kindestCup. The final product was ready a few months after her second baby was born and was everything she had hoped for. She started this company and made kindestCup widely available because she wants to change breastfeeding culture and improve breastfeeding experiences and breastfeeding outcomes worldwide.
