Momsense, The Smart Breastfeeding Meter - #Giveaway




Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience. It's a wonderful way to bond with your baby, and the most natural way to feed them.  Once you get the hang of it, there's nothing to it. However, when I was a young mother with my first child, I also learned it can be frustrating and painful, especially the first few weeks. I also had serious issues with my milk development. With all four of my children, I only managed to breastfeed for the first three or four months. Studies have shown that 50% of new mothers stop breastfeeding early for the same reason. Stopping early means that your baby is losing a lot of potential health benefits.  I didn't have any help back then when I was learning the ropes of breastfeeding. Thankfully, today there is Momsense, the Smart Breastfeeding meter that will help guide new mothers through this important stage of  their child's life.



Momsense is a wearable device and mobile application that offers a variety of user friendly features that will help make breastfeeding easier. Momsense measures and tracks a baby’s breast milk volume intake. The patented technology is embedded into a  sensor. You can  place the sensor underneath the baby’s earlobe during nursing. You connect the device to a smart phone application to track and report how much breast-milk the baby is consuming during each feeding. After each nursing session, you will receive a detailed report that shows you how long the feeding lasted, and the quantities of milk your baby consumed from each breast. I know one of my biggest concerns was worrying that I wasn't producing enough milk to satisfy my child.  This gives you the peace of mind of knowing whether your baby received enough milk during each feeding. 


The Momsense Breastfeeding Meter has three components: the Momsense app, earphones and a microphone embedded baby safe sensor. It not only tracks baby’s breast milk intake, but also allows mothers to listen to the sound of their baby’s nursing swallow.  In addition to providing important information that can help keep your milk supply flowing, Momsense has lots of other fun perks as well.  You can snap photos and monitor their weight as well as their feeding habits. You can even create photo albums that will make a great keepsake as your baby grows. Momsense is the modern way to track you baby's development.


If you wan to try out Momsense for yourself, it is now available for purchase through the company’s online shop, as well as on Target.com and BabiesRUs.com.

Medela Freestyle Breastpump #Giveaway

medelabig


Medela is proud to announce Medela Recycles, a program focused on helping moms who have finished their breastfeeding journey help another mom start hers. Each pump they receive through Medela Recycles supports the donation of new hospital-grade, multi-use breastpumps and supplies to Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). All pumps recycled through the Medela Recycles program will go toward a donation of hospital-grade Medela Symphony® Preemie+TM Breastpumps and breastfeeding supplies to the Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®). The goal is to provide moms with the same high-quality equipment they use at the hospital during their stay at a Ronald McDonald House. This consistency will ease the transition from the hospital to a Ronald McDonald House and give families caring for a baby in the NICU one less thing to worry about.

Milkies Softies Nursing Pads Review



The super soft, absorbent, and reusable nursing pad - 3 pairs per box!
 
Milkies Softies Nursing Pads have a unique 3-layer design that guards against leaks without adding bulk or puffiness to your bra. A plush 100% bamboo layer rests lightly against your skin, and wicks moisture away quickly. The inner microfiber layer is ultra-absorbent and the outer layer is microbe and leak resistant. Designed by nursing moms for nursing moms, Softies keep breastfeeding moms dry and comfortable.


Our Thoughts

I am so sick and tired of buying papery products that I have to throw away but I am one of those nursing mothers that has to wear nursing pads throughout my entire nursing relationship with my child. My son just turned six months old and I still have to wear nursing pads all day, and all night long.

One thing I really dislike about disposable nursing pads is that the papery ends poke at my skin and make my skin itch. Not a fan of that. The Milkies Softies live up to their name. They really are incredibly soft. You know right away which side is to be against your skin and which side isn't. 

You can't see these big bulky things through your shirt either, which is really embarrassing for many moms. They are large enough for even the most engorged lady that has a lot of milk issues so this size (and strength) is good whether you have a newborn or you're nursing a one year old and your supply has settled down.

I mainly have to worry about using mine at night while sleeping, and with laying down, all moms know we "shift" a little bit, but that's not a problem with these because of how thick/large they are (but again, not too much that it's really noticeable through your shirt). Each pack comes with three so while one is in the washer, one is being worn, you have one for backup too!

I just throw mine in with the regular wash with my clothes and I haven't had any problems with keeping them clean and the detergent doesn't bother my skin from it either. I am loving these Milkies Softies! They have many products for new moms like Nursing Tea, Nipple Nurture Balm, and Milk Savers!
