MILKSCREEN:HOMETEST FOR ALCOHOL IN BREASTMILK

This two minute test could save twenty minutes and mums sanity!

Milkscreen is a simple 2 minute test to detect alcohol in breast milk allowing mums to safely breastfeed their baby and resume their pre-baby lifestyle guilt-free. It encourages women to breastfeed longer, with them confident in the knowledge they are not harming their baby even when they relax with a glass of wine with friends!
Why not just give expressed milk anyway?
If the test result is negative mums can avoid their infants becoming agitated while waiting for frozen milk to be defrosted.


Why Mums want it!

1. Babies wake up unexpectedly when Mums have had a glass of wine and are not sure if it is safe to feed.

2. Mums have a special function (i.e. wedding, anniversary) where they may have more than 1 glass and may not be sure if it is safe to feed even a few hours after their last drink.

3. Many mums are very stressed in the early weeks of becoming a mum. Being able to relax with a glass of wine (in moderation) on occasion confident in the knowledge they are not harming their baby could assist them to feel like they are getting back to their pre-baby life life (if only for a moment!).

4. Helps mums avoid the pump and dump scenario which is completely unnecessary. Alcohol in breast milk is like alcohol in your blood - only time can remove it. The pump & dump method is not necessary or effective at reducing alcohol concentration.


How it works...

Simply saturate a small test strip (similar to a pregnancy test) with breast milk and within 2 minutes a result will show whether alcohol is present. The strips provide a positive or negative result (like a pregnancy test). A positive test would result in expressed breast milk to be offered until a safe result is shown.

Each package contains 3 individually foil wrapped test strips.
