Kind+Jugend Innovation Award: A Breakthrough in Maternal Support
The Kind+Jugend Innovation Award is one of the most prestigious honors in the global parenting industry, recognizing products that excel in safety, design, and functionality—improving the lives of parents and children worldwide. At the Kind+Jugend opening ceremony on September 9, Momcozy received this recognition for its Ergonest Maternity Support Belt, the first in the industry to combine the patented Ergonest Support Structure™ with a unique O-shaped molding system.

“Love & Loneliness”: Spotlight on Maternal Mental Health
At a press luncheon during the tradeshow, Momcozy presented its latest “Love & Loneliness” study, conducted by Kantar. The research revealed that two-thirds (67%) of young mothers in Germany experience loneliness postpartum, with exhaustion (68%), mood swings (59%), mental stress (54%), and unsupported nighttime breastfeeding (43%) cited as leading causes. Additionally, lack of emotional support (39%) and social isolation (30%) were also significant factors.
As part of its Mom-first commitment to easing this burden, Momcozy develops Cozy Tech solutions that simplify mothers’ lives. For example, the M9 smart hands-free breast pump, equipped with DoubleFit™ flanges, boosts pumping efficiency by 28%, helping mothers save time and reduce stress.
Professor Daniel Klotz, Head of the Department of Neonatology and Pediatric Intensive Care at Ev. Krankenhaus Bethel Bielefeld and board member of the Women’s Milk Bank Initiative, shared his expertise, “Breast milk is invaluable –especially for premature babies. Science, practice, and business must work together to strengthen breastfeeding and expand milk bank access.”
IBCLC Julia Weidenmüller from Soulfeeding and host of the podcast “Die Stillberaterin” added, “Many mothers feel isolated under the weight of expectations. Creating solutions that restore freedom and confidence is essential.”
The event was moderated by Lina Bödecker, a systemic and developmental psychological consultant and family, health, and pediatric nurse.

Supporting the Women’s Milk Bank Initiative
As a highlight of the event, Momcozy donated €5,000 to the Frauenmilchbank Initiative e.V. to support its mission of ensuring premature and newborn babies in Germany have safe access to donor milk. The German Milk Bank Initiative (FMBI) helps fill critical gaps when breastfeeding is not possible, so that even the most vulnerable infants receive the nutrition they need.
Sven Hering, Momcozy Sales Director for Europe, explained, “Every baby deserves the best start in life. Supporting Frauenmilchbank allows us to extend our Mom-First mission beyond products to help ensure that fragile newborns have safe access to the nutrition they depend on.”
