For new mothers one of the difficult things about breastfeeding can be that its not quantifiable. While experienced mothers and health professionals know that a healthy baby is getting plenty of nourishment, some mothers, especially with a first baby, would prefer to something more measurable.
Milo a digital creativity company has created an app for the iphone that can help out. The milk monitor keeps track of your babies feeding habits and diaper changes. With a few touches of the screen a nervous new mother, or one who needs this information to help with a medical issue, can have a record of how the baby is doing. Milk monitor makes it easy to remember which side youlast nursed on, how many diapers you changed, how many times, how often, and for how long, you have nursed. The information is easily stored to share with your doctor, or tweeted, facebooked, and emailed to share with friends and family.
The app comes automatically loaded for breastfeeding moms but can be adapted to accommodate formula feeding moms.

Good grief. This is an app for breastfeeding mothers, but it has a *bottle* in the graphic??!!
Great info. I wonder if this would have helped my oldest son who gained weight sooooo slowly.
Hey, at least it illustrates the mom nursing ;o)
great! yet another way to undermine a mothers instinct and make her feel rubbish.
Got something to say?
