It won't help, since pumping is not an accurate measure of what your milk production really is.
Consult a lactation consultant to help you out!

Wow, I thought that was just for alcohol. What a crock. Makes me mad that people profit from making mamas feel insecure about their production.
-
Let me guess, a formula company probably backs funding for this.
-
@sloaneandpuffy: They do have an alcohol one...but this isn't it.
@T.H.O.U.: Probably...or just companies trying to make money off of breastfeeding, since it's essentially free.
-
This is the same company that makes "walking wings" to help babies learn to walk. WTF?
-
@mrsjazz: LOL. um... what's wrong with hands? hahahaha that is hilarious, I've never seen anything like that before!!!
-
@mrsjazz: Because teaching your child how to walk is FREE and we need to figure out a way to make $$$!!
-
@mrsjazz: Wow....that's all I have to say about that "hands-free walking" thing.....
-
@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!
-
ugh. this is terrible. 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.
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.
-
How would a test even know how much milk a baby needs/wants? It's not like they all drink the same amount...
-
I signed a petition to remove this from stores: Sign it yourself at: https://www.change.org/petitions/target-remove-milkscreen-breastfeeding-assessment-test-from-store-shelves
-
Update: Milkshare is removing this product off the shelves!
-
@Dandelion: Wow! Do you have a link for where you heard this?
-
@Dandelion: It looks like they still have it for sale on their website though
And at Target.http://www.milkscreen.com/calculator/where-to-buy

@T.H.O.U.: I see it on Target, but I can only get to the milkscreen link from your link. I'll look for more links.
-
@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.
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.

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??
-
@mrs. wagon: I didn't look into it that much, but I guess you measured your milk and enter the info in their website, along with some info about your baby. I think it has you wait for the milk to separate at the "assesses" whether or not it's good enough.
And at Target.Reply
