USE CASES

The milk scanning feature in the MyLee App is not able identify all cases of low milk supply, or insufficient milk transfer. In certain cases, including but not limited to certain medical conditions such as breast hypoplasia, or insufficient glandular tissue, the milk maturation rate may be aligned or advanced compared to expected rates, but not in line with actual milk volumes produced. Additionally, the entire dynamic of a certain milk maturation process, followed early, is more informative than any later period scanning results, since the early history of each breastfeeding has an impact on secretory tissue development and function.

While not all forms of low milk supply concerns can be identified by milk scanning alone, whenever the system identifies a consistent 'Delay' or 'inefficiency' it is always worth further investigation of a reason for the delay and introduce corrective measures accordingly, as early as possible, with the aid of a lactation professional.

The MyLee does allow for identification of additional signs for milk supply concerns, by enhancing the scanning feature with the full app features on My Day, including diaper count, weight gain tracking, LATCH and confidence scores and symptom tracking, and following associated insights on My Insights screen.
