I think it has you wait for the milk to separate at the "assesses" whether or not it's good enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-737260 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:38:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 737260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad they discontinued the product and listened to their customers... but I am still confused... what was the test?!? How do you measure your breastmilk in a different way than... the measurements on the bottles you pump into?!?!? Am I stupid?? WHAT was this product?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-737249 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:34:51 +0000 Dandelion 737249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: <a href="http://www.measuremymilk.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.measuremymilk.com/index.php</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-736177 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:44:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 736177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Yes, I couldn't find the link on the Milk Screen website or that statement you posted. But when I googled "Milk Screen Assessment" lots of buy now links still came up.</p> <p>I really hope they are removing it and doing the right thing. It seems like they are a company that is trying to do the right thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-736173 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:43:01 +0000 Dandelion 736173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I see it on Target, but I can only get to the milkscreen link from your link.

I've been EBF'ing my daughter since the beginning, and anyone who has seen my IG pictures knows she's TOTALLY HEALTHY. yet, last time I pumped, I got 1 oz!!!! This is freakin terrible.</p> <p>I saw a post on the kellymom facebook page about this, I guess there's a petition going around for target to get it off the shelves. idk what that'll do though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-735030 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:04:05 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 735030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: actually intrested in walking wings. Dh would have a horrible time teaching a kid to walk so this would be a great adaptive device for my husband to be more involved. For all normal healthy adult it seens like pure laziness to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-735012 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:57:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 735012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Wow....that's all I have to say about that "hands-free walking" thing..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-735010 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:56:54 +0000 Dandelion 735010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Because teaching your child how to walk is FREE and we need to figure out a way to make $$$!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-734990 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:49:53 +0000 .twist. 734990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: LOL. um... what's wrong with hands? hahahaha that is hilarious, I've never seen anything like that before!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-buy-this#post-734988 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:47:58 +0000 mrsjazz 734988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the same company that makes "walking wings" to help babies learn to walk.
