Problem
Many mothers struggle with uncertainty regarding their breast milk supply and their baby's intake during breastfeeding. Traditional methods of measuring milk supply, such as pre- and post-feed weighing, are often inaccurate and stressful. This lack of reliable information can lead to anxiety and potentially impact breastfeeding duration.
Solution
Coroflo offers a smart nipple shield with integrated flow-measurement technology to provide real-time data on breast milk intake. The shield measures milk flow during feeding and transmits the data to a mobile app, giving mothers precise insights into their baby's feeding efficiency. This solution aims to eliminate the guesswork associated with breastfeeding, empowering mothers with accurate information to make informed decisions about their baby's nutrition. By providing real-time feedback, Coroflo helps mothers understand their milk supply and their baby's consumption, promoting confidence and potentially extending the duration of breastfeeding.
