SafeMilk: Empowering Mothers with Informed Choices

Congratulations on embarking on the incredible journey of motherhood! At SafeMilk, we understand the joys and challenges that come with caring for your little one. We believe that balancing your personal well-being with your baby's safety should be simple and stress-free. That's why we've created SafeMilk — an intuitive app designed to help you determine when it's safe to breastfeed after consuming alcohol.

Why Choose SafeMilk?
After months of careful planning and dedication, it's natural to want to enjoy a glass of wine, a refreshing beer, or a celebratory toast. SafeMilk empowers you to make informed decisions by providing personalized estimations based on your unique circumstances. Our goal is to offer peace of mind so you can cherish every moment with your newborn without unnecessary worry.

Key Features:
• Personalized Calculations: Input your height & weight, metabolic rate, and specific details about your drinks to receive tailored estimates. SafeMilk considers personal factors to provide accurate timing on when it's safe to breastfeed again.
• Easy Logging: Choose quickly from standard drink types like champagne, white wine, red wine, beer, cocktails, or shots. With predefined options and the ability to add custom drinks, tracking your alcohol consumption has never been easier.
• Real-Time Updates: Get immediate insights into your current and planned safe-to-breastfeed times. SafeMilk calculates both ongoing and future entries, helping you plan ahead and manage your schedule effectively.
• Visual Comparisons: Understand the alcohol content in your breast milk by comparing it to everyday items. For example, see how it relates to non-alcoholic beer, kefir, or ripe bananas. This feature translates complex data into relatable terms.
• User-Friendly Interface: Navigate seamlessly through our intuitive design. The app's clean layout and straightforward functionality ensure that you can focus on what's important—caring for your baby.
• Important Information at Your Fingertips: Access clear explanations about how SafeMilk works, including disclaimers and detailed insights into our calculation methods. Stay informed and confident in your decisions.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust the app to suit your preferences. Set your metabolic rate (slow, average, fast), choose your preferred units of measurement, and tailor notifications to your needs.
• Privacy Protection: Your data is yours alone. SafeMilk stores all health information locally on your device. We never share your personal data with third parties without your consent.
• Support and Resources: Explore our curated resources section for articles, tips, and guidance on breastfeeding and alcohol consumption. Stay educated with up-to-date information from trusted sources.

How It Works:
SafeMilk utilizes established research and sophisticated algorithms to estimate your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over time. By factoring in:

• Your Weight: Heavier individuals may process alcohol differently than lighter individuals.
• Metabolic Rate: Select from slow, average, or fast metabolism to refine calculations based on how quickly your body processes alcohol.
• Drink Details: Input the type, amount (in milliliters), and alcohol percentage of your beverage.
• Food Intake: Indicate whether you've eaten, as food can affect alcohol absorption rates.

The app calculates when your BAC—and consequently, the alcohol level in your breast milk—will decrease to a safe level for breastfeeding. SafeMilk provides both current BAC levels and projects future levels based on planned alcohol consumption.

Understanding the Calculations:

SafeMilk employs the Widmark formula, a scientifically recognized method for estimating BAC. By combining your personal data with this formula, the app provides an estimation that helps you make informed choices. Keep in mind that these are estimates and individual variations can occur.
