Breastfeeding and Other Health Issues for New Moms

Tuesday, 26 January, 2010

For those of you who are new nursing moms, have you had some trouble figuring out how to calculate the amount of breast milk required to meet your baby's needs?  This question can be troublesome if you need to pump and save.  Here's the quote from Kittie Frantz, R.N., Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, who developed the app for Breast Milk Calculator.

"I just finished an iPhone app for breastfeeding.  It is called BREAST MILK CALCULATOR and it is fabulous for nursing moms.  The app uses the standard calculation pediatricians and dieticians use to determine how much milk an infant needs to sustain a certain weight. The mom can enter baby's birth date and weight and the app will tell her how much baby had to have received to maintain that weight and how much more to gain. This is great for working moms who need to know how much milk to leave for the sitter or just get a confidence boost when she wonders if she is making enough milk."

So, best wishes to you all hard-working nursing moms.  ellyhann@epibinursingpads.com
