You no longer have to worry if with glass of wine you had with dinner last night is being feed to your baby for breakfast the next morning. The ingenious Milkscreen is the first ever at-home breast milk test that analyzes for the presence of alcohol. In less than two-minutes, the test provides mothers with a clear positive or negative reading, letting you know if your milk is safe for your baby.
Milkscreen was created by two Austin, Texas ?mompreneurs?, Julie Jumonville and Elizabeth Smith. Both nursing mothers, they understood that breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding, fulfilling experiences of motherhood, but it is also full of challenges and mystery. They created Milkscreen to eliminate some uncertainty ? and to help provide mothers everywhere with a little extra peace of mind.
Each box comes with six strips per box and it only takes three simple steps. First saturate the reactive pad with breast milk, wait two minutes, and read the results: an unmistakable color change means that it has detected the presence of alcohol in the milk.
Why test your breast milk for alcohol? Alcohol in your breast milk can have a number of negative impacts on you and your baby, including a decrease in let-down and milk production, lower calorie-consumption by your infant, less-sound sleep and the possibility of hampering the development of motor-skills.
For all of these reasons alcohol-free milk is safer for your baby, and with Milkscreen, it is easy to find out exactly when to breastfeed and when to use an alternative solution. With a positive test result, options include waiting for an hour or so and then re-testing your milk, using formula, or using stored, pre-pumped milk. Milkscreen provides fast, accurate results. It only takes two minutes for peace of mind.
