The Milk Maid app was designed to help pumping moms manage their stash of breast milk.

* Record pumping sessions and quickly see your inventory of fresh and frozen milk in multiple locations. (Home, work, daycare, etc. Want to add Grandmas house? You can easily add custom locations.)

* Milk Maid keeps track of individual bottles and bags by pumping date so that you can use the oldest milk first. Milk Maid is flexible. You can combine milk from multiple pumping sessions or pour milk from one bottle into multiple bottles and freezer bags.

* Record the bottles and bags used by you or your caregiver each day. Have a business trip? Milk Maid will calculate the average milk you used last week to help you estimate how long your stash will last.

* Set an expiration period for each storage location and Milk Maid will track the expiration time of each bottle/bag in your stash. Browse the stash to see containers that are nearing expiration or expired.

* Use Milk Maids optional features like the handy timer if your pump does not have one and the Left/Right feature to track each side separately.

* Milk Maid supports oz or mL or both. Milk Maid remembers which units you used last so you dont have to keep entering it over again.

* Browse and edit your entire history of pumpings and feedings.

* Quickly and easily browse your entire inventory of fresh and frozen milk in multiple locations. See the total volume stored in each location.

* Export all data in CSV (spreadsheet) and RTF (word processing) format via email or wifi to share with your caregiver or healthcare provider.

Pros and cons of Milk Maid app for iPhone and iPad

Milk Maid app good for

I love this app and would highly recommend it to all those eping (exclusively pumping) moms out there!!! It creates statistic data about your production (eg. average daily, weekly, monthly amounts) and shows the increase over time. The only thing I would want changed/ added is the reminder timer... There is one but you can only set it to predetermined times... I wish I could set it so it would automatically remind me 2 or 3 hours after my last pumping time (because they are not always at the same time everyday). Awesome app overall!
Im exclusively pumping and bottle feeding and this app is perfect! Everything I need to keep track of my stored milk supply, including locations and expiry dates. :)
Im pretty happy with this app. I just wish that it would give a comparison of how much was pumped in a day vs how much baby ate. (Am I pumping more or less than baby is eating.) Also, would be nice to have the option to log occasional breastfeeding as well. We pump and bottle but we also breast from time to time and its hard to log the breast feeding. More charts and visuals in the stats would be great too. Also, the weekly and monthly pumping and feeding volume doesnt seem to work. All in all, a great app and almost exactly what I needed.
I completely would have given this 5 stars if there were a way to get the alert to be loud, annoying, doesnt stop until you acknowledge it-just so you dont miss when its time to pump! Been using this app for almost 2mths now and love being able to track everything!!! Even shared it with my LC and she was impressed by the quick views, stats and knowledge/insight it gives the mother as well as any aid person helping you. Love it!!! Just to tweak the alert to be more like an alarm clock!
This app is absolutely amazing! Its so helpful the most helpful app I got! It keeps track of everything to do with breast milk pumped and used and all other info needed. Cant say it enough how much I love this app
I love this app, it is very user friendly and tracks everything. As a surrogate, the option to donate isnt in all apps and its a great feature for me.

Some bad moments

Ever since updating, I cant open the app! Please help! I depend on this app!!
Do NOT use if exclusively pumping. Terrible app. Use medela "pumping log" app. Way better.
Ive been exclusively pumping for two months now so I use this app between 5 and 7 times a day. Although great for tracking pumps and supply, it kills my phones battery, which is unfortunate.
