10 best breastfeeding apps for mums

9 Jun, 2016

These apps remind you which side you nursed from last, chart your baby's progress, monitor his wet diapers and much, much more...

 

 

In this digital age, there’s an app for everything including – you guessed it – breastfeeding. Not one, but many apps actually. And while you may think breastfeeding is easy-peasy and why should technology interfere in something so natural, the truth is it’s not always easy for all mums.

So breastfeeding mums, if you need a bit of nursing assistance during those 3am feeds when your only company is your mobile phone, help is just a swipe away!

In no particular order, here are 10 of the best breastfeeding apps around.

Developed by Kittie Frantz, a pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation expert with over 40 years of experience, this app tells you exactly how much breast milk a baby is getting from the breast per day and per feeding.

It also suggests how much milk to leave for your baby’s carer, should you need to be away from your baby, how much breast milk baby gets if using a feeding tube at the breast and also changes baby’s weight from pounds/ounces to kilograms and back again.

8. MommyMeds

8. MommyMeds

Taking medication when you’re ill and breastfeeding is cause for concern for many nursing mums. With MommyMeds, you can stop worrying.

Doctors at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center have officially taken the guesswork out of which medicines are okay to take while you’re nursing. They compiled safety ratings on more than 20,000 drugs and OTC meds and made the info searchable by product name or category.

There are also lists of breastfeeding-friendly drugs to help you tackle common woes like headaches, nausea, or allergies.

Price: US$3.99

9. Pump Log

This app is ideal for exclusive pumpers and new mums returning to the workplace.

This nifty app is like a super-organiser all us mums need so badly.

It also helps you keep track of baby’s immunisations and doctor’s appointments.

Price: US$4.99
