Know Your Baby: The Smart Breastfeeding Meter!

on
I can remember with dread the hours spent in a doctor's office worrying that my baby wasn't getting enough breastmilk. Unlike formula-fed babies, it can be very difficult to know if they are getting enough to eat. You can't measure breastmilk like you can a bottle, and so you're left with weighing the baby after each feeding, or worse -- weigh the wet diapers that they leave behind!

I'm so thrilled to learn about a new product that alleviates all the worry that moms have, as well as gives them information needed to make informed decisions with their doctor. And with a recent study concluding that breastfeeding for at least six months reduced the risk of an infant developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adolescence by a third compared to those who were fed less than six months, it's more important than ever to have the support you need when nursing!

Since a fear of "inadequate supply" is often noted as a reason for stopping nursing, I'm happy that  Momsense has created The Smart Breastfeeding Meter to measure and track a baby’s breast milk volume intake when nursing.



How exactly does it work? It's genius, really... By using a little microphone sensor that goes underneath baby's earlobe, the patented technology can sense how much baby is consuming and the information is sent to your smart phone for easy monitoring! How cool is that?



 You can now find this product on the Momsense website, as well as retailers Target and Babies R Us via their online stores. We are super happy to be able to give a lucky Lille Punkin' reader a chance to win, as well!

    I'm expecting my first. A little girl. As a new mom this would ease my mind about how much she is eating. There are so many things to worry about with a newborn and it would be nice to put my mind at ease for at least one of them.

    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this. On my third child, I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and have had low supply with all 3. This is the first one I've been able to exclusively breastfeed but there's constant ups and downs. Like having mastitis and watching my supply plummet to an ounce or two a session. :( This would be very helpful.

    This would help me so much. My baby girl was five weeks premature and now at four months is still gaining slowly despite nursing regularly, having normal diapera and seeming happy and this would give me so much peace of mind to know that she is getting enough!

    I would absolutely gift this to my sister for her daughter. Ironically, she has always been concerned about ensuring my niece gets a full feeding. This would be great to help ease her anxiety.

    This is the most amazing invention I have every seen! My wife and I are expecting in September. We conceived via IVF and she has heard that sometimes IVF mothers have a much more difficult time producing milk. It is her greatest fear that she won't be able to produce enough to nourish our daughter adequately. So winning this would be a godsend for her.
