Why use milkscreen?

Reason #1

Studies have shown infants consuming breast milk with alcohol concentrations at approximately 30mg/dl, or 0.03%, and higher have exhibited distinctive changes in:

• Feeding behavior: baby consumes less if the milk contains alcohol.
• Sleeping: baby sleeps less and wakes more frequently.

The milkscreen test is set to show a color change at 0.02% to let Mom know if her milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact baby.

Reason #2

Because every mother is unique! Naturally, the way our bodies process alcohol is unique, too. Metabolizing alcohol depends on several factors including:

• Body weight
• Type of alcohol consumed
• Food intake

In the past, there were only generalized guidelines for the questions surrounding breast feeding after consuming alcohol. Now, with milkscreen, there is one simple and accurate method to let Mom know if her milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact baby.
