Problem
Breastfeeding mothers often lack detailed information about the specific nutritional composition of their milk, making it difficult to address concerns about infant nutrition and optimize their diet accordingly. The macronutrient content of breast milk can vary significantly, impacting infant growth and development.
Solution
Lactation Lab provides breast milk analysis kits that empower mothers with detailed insights into the nutritional content of their breast milk. These kits enable mothers to measure key components like protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, iron, and essential vitamins (A, C, and B-12). By understanding the unique composition of their milk, mothers can make informed dietary adjustments to optimize their breast milk and ensure their babies receive the best possible nutrition. Lactation Lab also offers the Emily's Care Nourish Test System, an FDA-approved point-of-care device for NICUs that provides real-time macronutrient analysis of human milk, enabling targeted fortification tailored to each infant's needs.

The primary customers are breastfeeding mothers seeking detailed information about their breast milk composition, as well as healthcare professionals in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) requiring precise macronutrient analysis for preterm infants.
