Question 1

What can I log in a pumping session?

Accepted Answer

You can log the time, duration, left/right volumes, a note, tags and, with Premium, the equipment used. The daily summary updates automatically.

Question 2

What are the volume shortcuts and +/- buttons for?

Accepted Answer

They help you avoid typing every value manually when you are in a hurry. You can enable or hide these groups in Profile > Settings > Pump entry editing.

Question 3

How does Power Pumping work?

Accepted Answer

From Journal, choose Power Pumping, then a Classic or Express protocol. When the timer ends, the app opens a prefilled pumping session with the duration and protocol.

Question 4

Why can a pumping session be linked to stock?

Accepted Answer

If you add a fridge or freezer bag from a pumping session, the app keeps the link. If you later edit the pumping volume, it offers to update the linked bag.

Accepted Answer

History shows days and pumping sessions. Stats summarizes volumes, rhythms, gaps, left/right sides and trends over the selected period.

In the free version, history and stats goes back to the last 3 days. Premium unlocks 7-day, 30-day and full-history periods, Power Pumping and advanced stats.

Question 7

Can I filter my history?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can filter by left/right side, notes and tags, then open the details of a day or a pumping session.

Question 8

Why are some stats empty?

Accepted Answer

The app needs enough pumping sessions over the selected period. If you have just started, select 3 days or add a few more pumping sessions.

Question 9

Why can Stock be locked?

Accepted Answer

Advanced stock management is a Premium feature. In shared mode, it also depends on the permissions granted by the profile owner.

Question 10

How do I add a bag?

Accepted Answer

From Stock, use the + button and choose Fridge or Freezer. You can also create a bag directly from a pumping session in Journal.

Question 11

What is the Reminders tab in Stock for?

Accepted Answer

It highlights bags to use soon, expired bags and freezer bags to use first based on the active recommendation.

Question 12

Can I use only part of a bag?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose the partial use action and enter the remaining volume. If the remaining volume reaches 0, the bag is marked as consumed.

Question 13

Can I change the storage durations?

Accepted Answer

Yes with Premium, in Profile > Settings > Milk storage recommendation. You can choose a recommendation or use a custom duration. This remains a helper, not medical advice.

Question 14

What is the difference between an automatic and a custom reminder?

Accepted Answer

Automatic is based on your last pumping session and recalculates after each new session. Custom lets you choose a date, time, interval and number of reminders.

Question 15

What rhythms can I choose?

Accepted Answer

You have presets every 2 h, 3 h or 4 h, and you can enter a custom interval. The planner shows a preview before you confirm.

Accepted Answer

They let you enable alarm mode and plan over the next 24 h. If you prefer, you can create a single one-time reminder.

Question 17

Can I edit or delete a reminder?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the reminder list, open or swipe a reminder to edit or delete it. You can also delete all reminders.

Question 18

What can I customize in Settings?

Accepted Answer

You can change the language, volume unit, theme, day/night times, pumping form presets and, with Premium, the storage recommendation.

Question 19

What is the Baby profile for?

Accepted Answer

It stores baby's first name and birth date to display their age and better organize the profile.

Question 20

What is Equipment for?

Accepted Answer

With Premium, you can save your breast pumps and left/right flange sizes. Each pumping session keeps a snapshot of the equipment used, even if you edit it later.

Question 21

Why does the app remind me that it is not medical?

Accepted Answer

Calculations and recommendations are here to help you day to day. If you have any doubt about storage, quantity or your baby's health, always follow advice from a healthcare professional.

Question 22

What is email sign-in for?

Accepted Answer

It links your account and subscription. Email sign-in alone does not necessarily enable cloud sync.

Question 23

What is the difference between local Premium and Premium + cloud?

Accepted Answer

Local Premium unlocks features on this device. Premium + cloud adds backup, sync between devices and sharing, with your explicit consent.

Question 24

What does Premium unlock?

Accepted Answer

Premium unlocks advanced stock, full history, detailed stats, equipment, cloud sync and collaborative sharing.

Question 25

My purchase does not appear right away. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Wait a few moments, then open Profile > Account or Premium and use Restore purchases / Refresh. Activation may require a store-side verification.

Question 26

How do I share my profile?

Accepted Answer

Sharing requires Premium + cloud. Go to Profile > Sharing, generate a link or code, then send it to the invited person.

Question 27

What permissions can I give?

Accepted Answer

Co-parent gives full write access. Other gives read access depending on the selected modules, such as History/Stats and/or Stock.

Question 28

Why can't the invited person see everything?

Accepted Answer

They only see the modules included in the share. For example, if Stock is not selected, the Stock tab remains inaccessible.

Accepted Answer

Yes. The owner can revoke a link or member. The invited person can also leave shared mode from Profile > Account.

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you do not enable cloud. In local Premium, data stays on the device and sharing remains disabled.

Question 31

What happens if I withdraw cloud consent?

Accepted Answer

Cloud sync and cloud sharing stop. You can continue locally and enable consent again later from the account.

Question 32

What is the difference between resetting the app and deleting the account?

Accepted Answer

Resetting deletes local data from this device and cancels scheduled notifications. Deleting the account also deletes cloud data linked to the account, if you are signed in.
