Well, now....this speaks to a pet peeve of mine, the fact that almost all the
collection containers for pumps are in the shape of bottles. I can understand why
it might be useful to have gradations printed on the containers, but the bottle
thingy leaves me cold. It assumes and encourages the idea that a bottle is the only
alternative to the breast, often leading to nipple confusion/preference. Surely
there must be a way to make a container that looks more like a cup? A lid that
sealed it tight, ready for freezing, would be great too. Any pump people out there
listening?
