It would help if info could be printed or forward by text or email


Great Info but crashes all the time
TLockett

App needs to be fixed. Love the info when I’m actually able to get it but the app crashes constantly.


Glitch??
Spaceycasey47

I purchased this to make sure I’m making safe decisions regarding what I take while feeding my son. It worked great the first 24 hours. Now, I keep getting an error code and it won’t load anything, making it useless. I wouldn’t complain if I hadn’t spent $4 on an app that doesn’t work when I need it...


Loved but won’t work anymore

I loved this app when I had my son but for some reason now when I try to access the app it just spins like it’s thinking but never connects. I can’t use it or find a link for customer service and don’t think I should have to pay to redownload it.


Not very helpful
BMB1994

I am extremely sick with a cold and congested and unsure of what to take and when you click on symptoms it says on almost every one that there is no data probably compatible. What does that even mean?? Extremely frustrating when you just want answers on a holiday weekend. Wished I wouldn’t have bought it.


Must have for breastfeeding mothers
Tamera Schroeder

I'm so excited about this app! It's a lot more user friendly for mothers than LactMed and I can't wait to use the barcode scanner. Thank you Dr. Hale!


Broken

Whenever I search for and click on a prescription drug, I get an error message that says "Application Error - 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'a.trackEvent') at listmanager.js (line 1)." Was this app actually tested? Also the list of prescription drugs is missing a lot of common medications. I didn't test the OTC meds, but from what I've seen so far this app is basically useless. Which is a shame because there is a need for an app like this.


Just a floor nurse
LiLGroen

I am only a floor nurse. This app makes me so excited!! No more searching for the answer I need in drug guides. No more calling pharmacy. No more calling the sweet ladies in OB! I can get those answers quickly, and all on my own now. Thanks Dr. Hale! Sincerely- A med/surg nurse :)


the best app for breastfeeding moms

Lots of great info here!


MommyMeds is a Great Investment

Being pregnant for the first time is scary enough without having to worry about if your medicine is safe to take or not. I trust MommyMeds to give me the most recent information regarding the safety various medications. I love that MommyMeds is also customizable based on the trimester of pregnancy. By using this app I learned that Ibuprofen can cause birth defects if used during pregnancy but may be safe for use by a breastfeeding mother after the baby is born. This is invaluable information that all mothers need to have access to!
