Neonatal Intuitive Feeding Technology Y, (NIFTY) cup is a 40 ml reusable cup made of silicone for feeding breast milk to newborns with difficulties in breastfeeding.
The Nifty cup is a simple, easy-to-clean, ergonomic, and affordable tool designed to optimize feeding and the efficient hand expression of breast milk to newborn preterm infants and other infants with breastfeeding difficulties. The cup’s reservoir and spout enables the baby to control the pace of the feeding and suckling like in normal breastfeeding.
