Why use milkscreen™?
Because every mother is unique! Naturally, the way our bodies process alcohol is unique, too. Metabolizing alcohol depends on several factors including:
- Body Weight
- Type of alcohol consumed
- Food Intake
With milkscreen™, there is one simple and accurate method to let Mom know if her milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact 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:
baby consumes less if the milk contains alcohol.
Sleep:
baby sleeps less and wakes up more frequently.
The milkscreen™ test is set to show a color change at 0.02% to let Mom know if her milk contains a level of alcohol that may negatively impact baby.
| | | Features: | |
• Every woman metabolizes alcohol differently so milkscreen™ allows Mom to relax and remove the guesswork
• Milkscreen™ measures the amount of alcohol in the breast milk to help ensure that there are no negative impacts on Baby
• Fast and easy-to-read results
• Pediatrician recommended and Lactation Consultant approved
• Created to extend the life of breast feeding

 Love these test strips!Jul 23, 2010
These are a great invention! They give such peace of mind knowing if your breastmilk is safe to feed your baby. All nursing mom's know that breastmilk is like liquid gold - why dump it if you don't need to? After nine months of not drinking, I'm really looking forward to drinking beer and wine again and having these helps alot. Every woman's metabolism is different - sometimes when you think the alcohol should be out of your system because it's been a while since you had that drink, it isn't. Why guess and take the chance you're feeding your baby unsafe milk when you don't have to?
Thank goodness for these strips!Mar 02, 2010
Its been a very long year since I had my last drink, and while I am not a regular drinker, just knowing I couldn't have one made my craving for a glass of wine that much more intense. Its great to know I don't always need to pump & dump like I thought I did... I hate seeing precious mommy milk go down the drain, now I know its not necessary. :) Cheers!!

Awesome product... now I can drink wine with dinner, and then test my breastmilk before baby drinks it. If it comes up colored on the tab, we just use previously frozen milk.

 do what they're supposed toDec 09, 2009
I originally thought these strips would work more like litmus paper - you know, a different color for the degree of alcohol in my breastmilk. Guess I didn't really look at the description thoroughly, but not surprising in my sleep deprived state due to my newborn. If you're not dipping the strip directly into milk, it's a little tricky to saturate the pad on the test strip, but once you get the hang of it, these work as advertised. As a heads up, the color can take longer to develop if you don't fully saturate the pad.

Great productNov 12, 2009
I tried this product out for peace of mind. The first time I used a strip it was about two hours after I had a glass of wine and it showed the milk clean of all alcohol. I didn't trust it until I had seen it work with a sample I knew was tainted, so I tried it right after I had finished a few glasses of wine and the strip was very dark, so I feel good that I know it works. The strips are expensive but after trying a few samples, I feel better knowing that I can read my body to tell if my milk is okay to give to my baby. Great product.
