The NIFTY cup's extended reservoir off the cup lip optimizes efficient milk delivery, and mothers can directly express into the 60-ml cup. The NIFTY cup's soft silicone material protects the infant's mouth from injury. The cup has embossed volume measurements to track intake; is designed to enhance finger and wrist control over milk flow; and is made with quick-drying, UV- and heat-resistant, durable, affordable silicone that can be boiled for sterilization. Our project aims to 1) generate an evidence base by validating the NIFTY cup in a hospital in Ethiopia and 2) shape the sub-Saharan Africa market by identifying a commercialization partner and developing a go-to market strategy and global advocacy plan.
