Helpful new app connects breastfeeding moms with specialists 24/7
Whether you're a new mother or you've had years of experience, breastfeeding your children can be challenging and confusing.
Momseze — a new app that allows parents to connect with certified lactation consultants and baby specialists 24/7 — is here to try and help.
According to the Momseze website, parents with questions, concerns, or issues that may arise during breastfeeding or childcare — everything from baby blues to difficulty latching and positioning — can use the app to quickly and easily speak to a specialist via video, voice chat, or text message.
The app essentially puts a group of 30 highly trained and certified lactation consultants across the country who have experience as registered nurses, in-hospital lactation consultants, doulas, and more at your fingertips, providing new parents with help.
"We are the only service that can help a nursing mother on-demand any time of the day or night, no matter where in the world she happens to be,” the website explains. "Any other service out there would require a mom to make an appointment for some future time rather than provide immediate assistance in their moment of need."
Sounds pretty perfect, right? Welllllll, almost. A service this convenient isn't free. Prices are either pay-as-you-go or vary depending on length and frequency of sessions, or subscription packages, as shown below:
The cost might seem a bit steep, but for many it's probably a fee well worth it.
