What belongs elsewhere
Items not intended for direct absorption of breast milk should be categorized elsewhere within the Nursing & Feeding hierarchy. For instance, nursing covers belong in the Nursing Covers category, and nursing pillows fall under Nursing Pillows. Breast pumps, storage containers, and sterilization equipment are excluded from this category and should be mapped to Breast Pumps, Breast Milk Storage Containers, or Bottle Warmers & Sterilizers respectively.
