"Coro, a new device created by Coroflow, accurately monitors breast milk intake in real-time, down to the 0.1 milliliters -- the first product on the market to do so. Coro is a silicone nipple shield with a patented micro-flow meter that measures milk intake, which you can view in an app. The app translates the data into insights on breast milk volume and feeding trends for each breast to help new parents better understand their baby's feeding patterns."
"Coroflow's co-founder Helen Barry, a doctor, had a baby boy who was tiny at birth, and had to track his weight gain through weekly weigh-ins and stressful pre- and post-feed weight checks. She couldn't believe as a doctor that there wasn't a better way to track feedings. Her husband, an engineer with a background in flow-sensing technology, helped develop Coro to help provide parents with more clear and immediate data, Benson said."
Coro is a silicone nipple shield with a patented micro-flow meter that measures breast milk intake in real time to 0.1 milliliters. The shield transmits data to an app that displays live intake and translates data into breast-specific volume and feeding-trend insights. The device matches the thinness of contact lenses and functions during normal breastfeeding without invasive procedures. U.S. breastfeeding initiation is high at birth but drops sharply by six months, with perceived low supply a major reason for stopping. Coroflow founders combined medical and engineering experience to create immediate, quantifiable feeding data for parents.
