Innovation Award Free to Feed Bra

Innovativer 4in1 Still-BH | Free to Feed Bra

myEphelia GmbH / Germany / Hall 10.1 | B050a

The Free to Feed Bra is more than a nursing bra; it simplifies breast-friendly supplement feeding, has pockets for warm and cool pads, allows hands-free pumping with a breast pump, and is comfortable, sustainable, and elegant. Our co-founder and midwife Meike designed this multifunctional bra with a modular system to support women with breastfeeding challenges and adoptive or co-mothers in their breastfeeding journey. Typically, during supplement feeding, a tube is awkwardly attached to the breast with adhesive tape. The bra solves this issue with integrated loops and a system that securely fixes the tube and allows easy changing of breastfeeding positions. Soft pockets provide space for warm and cool pads: warmth helps milk flow, while cooling helps with engorgement. Additionally, a breast pump can be secured. The Free-to-Feed Bra is made from organically certified fabrics in Portugal.
