Lacticups

LactiCups® was created to facilitate moms' breastfeeding goals and increase breastfeeding rates in the U.S. and around the world. By creating products that make it possible to overcome the most common challenges of early breastfeeding. Moms could effortlessly extend breastfeeding and protect their babies from serious medical conditions that threaten their lives during the first year of life. LactiCups breastmilk collection cups increase breastmilk availability by 46%, breastmilk that was never accounted for and was wasted on nursing pads. This 46% can be 4-16 ounces more breastmilk/day. Breast milk can represent the difference between life and death for a premature baby. Breastfeeding is not only important to the baby's health, but breastfeeding also plays an important role in women's health. 4.0 million babies are born in the USA every year, and 72% of babies are breastfed for some time. 28% of moms have quit after 6 weeks due to the challenges they face. This fact prevents babies from receiving all the immune protection that they need during their first year of life. Suboptimal breastfeeding rates in the U.S. alone result in an estimated $2.2 billion annually in direct medical costs. The mortality rate in the USA is higher than many other industrialized countries. Lacti-Cups is creating innovative breastfeeding products which are Efficient, Affordable and Eco-Friendly.
