THE POSSIBILITY OF EXCHANGING WITH OTHER MOMS OR FUTURE MOMS

Almost 80% of mothers say they felt isolated when they returned from maternity.

Thanks to the app, we want to encourage you to get to know, discuss and perhaps meet other mothers in your area who share (or have shared) your questions, your doubts, your desires for chatting, going out ...

As a little VanillaMilk bee, you can make contact with another mother thanks to the "beez". If she accepts your connection request, then you will each have access to the other's contact information and will be able to communicate freely.

QUALITY RESOURCES AND INFORMATION

We do not say it enough, but it is essential to prepare and be informed about breastfeeding from pregnancy.

Our wish is therefore also to provide you with most of the information to go through before the baby arrives:

- Terms to know: colostrum, areola, DAL, on demand, IHAB ...

- The answers to your main questions: Do I have enough milk? How to breastfeed? Does breastfeeding hurt? Can I breastfeed if I smoke? What do I need to breastfeed? ...

- People or organizations to contact: maternity hospitals, local or national associations, lactation consultants, lactariums, etc.

- Resources to consult: sites, videos, readings ...

With us, there is no overly technical, medical or anxiety-provoking information ... Just the information you need to enable you to make an informed and personal choice. Your choice !

IF NEEDED, A SIMPLE TOOL FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SERENE BREASTFEEDING

The rule of breastfeeding is precisely that there is no rule! This is referred to as “on-demand” breastfeeding.

However, some mothers feel the need to follow the beginnings of their breastfeeding and to take notes with each new feeding. This can provide reassurance about the correct setting up of the feeding rhythms.

But no need to write down much!

We have therefore integrated a feature that allows you to note the essentials: the start time of each breastfeeding, the proposed breast, the breastfeeding mode (bottle or breast) and your possible pumping sessions. .

The summary of your information could thus be useful during your first consultations with the pediatrician and / or the lactation consultant to answer the dreaded question "How is your breastfeeding?" ".

Happy breastfeeding everyone! :-)
