New iPhone application for breastfeeding moms!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

 

An awesome application for your iPhone or iPod touch to make life as a nursing mom easier. You already have so much to remember and think about with your new baby, keeping track of breastfeeding shouldn’t be adding stress to your life!
 
Baby Tracker: Nursing keeps track of your nursing sessions with just a few clicks, allowing you to relax and focus on feeding your baby without worrying about lists and sheets of paper, stop-watches and safety pins in your bra, or extraneous ribbons and bracelets!

Baby Tracker: Nursing is a real time tool. With just a few clicks your nursing session is recorded: length of time and the side you nursed on (or both), always noting which side you nursed on last!

A detailed nursing history is always right in front of you and permanently stored in daily logs for future reference. And since it’s on your iPhone or iPod touch you always have it with you! 

Features

– Easy start/stop timer for the Left and Right nursing sides.

– Promotion of proper alternate side nursing with both visual cues (safety pins) and simple Begin (alternate) side functionality.

– Multiple baby support (up to 6), with names and easy switching (slide your finger left or right).

Nursing history log grouped by day.

Add new nursing sessions manually without using the timer or edit previous saved sessions.

Record bottle feedings by type (Formula/Milk), volume (oz/mL), and amount.

Twin and triplet support to easily nurse from one baby to the next.

Change the background color to (Pink, Blue, Green, or Gray).

– Full day summary of nursing times and session counts, ready to show your doctor or lactation consultant.

Last Feeding time is always visible so you know when the next feeding should be.

Baby Tracker: Nursing application is available at the iPhone App Store and cost to download the application is $7.99.  For more information visit http://www.andesigned.net/

Milkscreen mentioned in The New Yorker Magazine

I recently read an article in The New Yorker Magazine by Jill Lepore entitled “If breast is best, why are women bottling their milk?”  The article is filled with lots of interesting facts about the history of breastfeeding and is a great read for everyone interested in this subject.
