Breastfeeding your newborn isn’t easy, especially if it’s your first child. What can make it even more difficult is the uncertainty that often looms around a fear of having insufficient milk supply.
All too often new mothers are questioning whether their supply is adequate, whether their baby is getting enough food, and if their child’s weight gain is adequate.
But a new App is on the market that is specifically designed to track breastfeeding and give mothers peace of mind.
Introducing the Smart Breastfeeding Meter
This wearable device, comprised of earphones and a microphone embedded baby safe sensor, comes with a mobile application that is able to measure how much breast milk your baby consumes during nursing. It also tracks your baby’s feeding patterns and allows mothers to listen to the sound of their nursing baby’s swallows.
And if that’s not enough, it is able to collate these little swallowing sounds into an album - #1 hit record here we come!
Dr. Osnat Emanuel, CEO of Momsense and mother-of-three says the app is a valuable resource to breastfeeding mothers.
“Our goal at Momsense is to give mothers the tools and confidence they need to continue breastfeeding through baby’s first 6 months of life,� she says. “Breastfeeding provides so many emotional and physical benefits for both moms and babies, and we think every mom should be able to enjoy these moments, worry-free.�
Sometimes all you need is a little reassurance
Mummy blogger, Mrs Measom used the device and describes it as a lifesaver.
“It offers me reassurance by allowing me to listen to my baby drinking during each nursing session,” she commented. “As if that isn’t cool enough, I can also see the motion on my phone. It’s so easy to use. I stick the motion device just under my baby’s ear, plug the headphones in, and open the app. Bam! I can hear and see my sweet angel drinking away, and instantly all those fears are gone. It takes the guessing out of nursing. With each gulp I know my body can keep up. I’m doing it! I’m really doing it. Kudos body! We’ve got this!”
