Guide Review - Hygeia Expression Cup

The Expression Cup by Hygeia is great for moms who want to hand express their milk into a separate container. Some moms have reported to me that when hand expressing the milk tends to go every which way and not make it into the receptical. Not only is this messy, it's disheartening for a mom who is working hard to give her baby breast milk. The Expression Cup helps resolve this problem by providing a wide area to funnel the milk into the container. The cup is useful for moms who can't afford a breast pump, who express milk only occasionally or when power is unavailable. The one downside to this cup is that it does require washing and sterilizing, which reduces some of the convenience factor of hand expression. Overall, I highly recommend this cup to any breastfeeding mother who wants to hand express their milk for their baby. This is just another handy tool for a breastfeeding mom to have around.
