Well Mom - you made
it! The baby is here! Now it's time for a drink! Not
so fast...remember, alcohol in your system effects baby if you
breastfeed. And that is the reason Upspring Baby created milkscreen! milkscreen is a tiny test strip that quickly and
accurately analyzes breast milk for alcohol. milkscreen also helps
ensure that the alcohol concentrated in Mom's breast milk is not at a
level that may have negative impacts on Baby. Studies have shown infants
consuming breast milk with alcohol concentrations at approximately
30mg/dl, or 0.03%, and higher have exhibited distinctive changes in
feeding behavior and sleep. Babies consume less if the milk contains
alcohol and they also sleep less and wake more frequently. milkscreen is
set to show a color change at 0.02% to help Mom stay within recommended
feeding guidelines.
INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

This was one of those little
products that all of our breastfeeding Moms were excited
to test out! In fact, we've never seen such a rush
to the front of the line! All kidding aside, our
Moms were happy to test out milkscreen and even happier
when they found out how easy it is to use. A few
drops of breast milk is all it takes - and in just a few
minutes time you have a clear readout as to whether your
milk is safe for baby. The lighter the reading,
the safer the milk is for your child. With
milkscreen the results are clear and easy to read.
And our Moms like easy! |

milkscreens isn't exactly a product
we would normally test for durability - but our review
team decided to look at this more as usability.
And our Moms were so pleased with how easy milkscreens
are to store in your purse, take along when you need
them and get an accurate reading every time. |
|
|
Again, this isn't something we would
normally review for visual appeal, but our Moms felt it
was important to point out that a tiny, little strip can
tell you so much important information. You don't
need bulky pumps or crazy contraptions - just a little
strip - and that scored high in the looks department for
our Moms. |

|
High marks again! And for one
simple reason...milkscreens work! Our Moms that
had a drink or two, popped them out, applied some milk
and the results were in in just two minutes. Now,
milkscreens won't fold your laundry or wash the dishes -
but they do exactly what they set out to do - tell Mom
if her milk is safe for baby! |

|
A 3-pack of strips costs $5.99 - and
in a blind survey our Moms priced each strip around a
dollar or two each. The strips aren't exactly
high-priced, but they aren't dirt cheap either.
But remember, we are talking about a Mom and her milk,
and to our breastfeeding Moms the price was just fine!

Some of our Moms have heard of this
type of product, but none had the opportunity to use it
before. All agreed that milkscreens were brilliant
- and super original! |

Can you tell? Our Moms
loved milkscreens! First off - all of our Moms
loved the idea. And then they were so thrilled
with how easy milkscreens were to use. Add in
they were small and easy to carry with them and the
group was thrilled. Most felt that the
milkscreens were also affordable, or at least by no
means expensive. Put it all together and we've
got a five-star products that are Moms were
immediately on the phone with their friends talking
about! |
