Milk supply struggles are the number one reason holding moms from breastfeeding the way they want. This is largely preventable by early proactive corrective approach and that’s where MyLee comes in
MyLee - Bringing milk insights into connected lactation support.
A smart milk-sensing platform that enables lactation professionals to track milk maturation on-site and connect with mothers' progress from home.
Bringing milk insights into lactation care
With MyLee, moms and lactation support teams can monitor early breastfeeding as it evolves. See milk coming in, Watch milk gradually transitioning from early colostrum to full milk maturity throughout the first weeks, including breast-specific pattern, gaining insights into supply indicators day by day. Empowering moms to proactively and confidently establish, optimize and understand milk supply.
Add MyLee to lactation-support visits
Introduce a new dimension of milk information into lactation support and add an innovative informative tool to the professional toolbox. With the MyLee, lactation professionals can scan milk samples on-the-spot, explore results with the mother, and follow her trends over time. These objective insights complement existing lactation support practices, adding valuable information to early personalized conversations and ongoing breastfeeding support.
Stay connected between visits
MyLee enables mothers to easily track their own milk from home and securely share their results with authorized lactation professionals. Breast-specific trends and additional information, such as infant weight gain, provide a broader view of progress between consultations, supporting personalized, ongoing lactation support and continuity of care.
Follow multiple moms real-time with a single interface
MyLee Professional Mode lets lactation professionals manage local and remote moms in one easy-to-use interface. Use one device to scan milk during consultations, review results, and track breast-specific trends. Remote moms scan independently at home and authorize access to their results.

Amazing instrument for breastfeeding mamas
The Mylee is amazing, very informative and easy to use! I unfortunately ordered it once I was already in my mature milk phase, in which it only confirmed the maturation was 100% in each breast. But as a 3rd time mom and now completing my IBCLC I feel this will be nothing but beneficial for my clients to be!
First time mom
Very Helpful :)
This device meets my expectations, was very useful and helpful in my fight for breastfeeding. The App was very simple to use.
mom to 3 & Lactation proffesional
Love it!
I loved the tips and insights generated daily. They were accurate and tuning. The system identified very efficiently an inflammation episode that occurred in my breast! Amazing!
First time mom
Great App!
Mylee is a wonderful idea and App, and was very helpful in my personal journey into breastfeeding and milk producing. Thank you!
As this period is so full of uncertainty this amazing device comes in and gives the mother a boost, reflecting the condition and what should be improved if any.
Mylee became a valuable tool in my work, especially when everything is going well, but not less important, in cases where I have concerns for the mother milk production status, Mylee is a source of reassurance or reflect the actual state.
Mylee gives numerical indication to the mother. It assists her to get another view of the status. It can show her the progress
Great tool that support my evaluation of the mother, and it helps me to create a more accurate work plan
It is science fiction that became a reality! I also loved the weight gain tracking feature
Mylee supports my clinical decisions, and helps to get feedback on the amount of efforts needed to increase milk supply.
Common Questions
What is Mylee testing?
MyLee measures breast milk conductivity - a validated proxy for milk sodium - and translates it into a Milk Maturation score. This provides an objective measure of progression from colostrum to mature milk, complementing assessments of secretory activation, feeding effectiveness, and milk supply establishment. Read more about MyLee Science.
Is MyLee scientifically validated?
Yes. MyLee has undergone rigorous testing for measurement accuracy, repeatability, and stability. A peer-reviewed validation study published in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth demonstrated reliable conductivity measurements and strong agreement with laboratory measurements of milk sodium, an established biomarker of secretory activation. (link to scientific paper)
Who can benefit most from the MyLee?
MyLee supports lactation professionals seeking objective insight into secretory activation, milk maturation, or milk supply establishment. As a an additional level of information, particularly when supporting mothers at risk of delayed secretory activation. Risk factors include first birth, gestational diabetes, cesarean or instrumental delivery, higher BMI, and certain hormonal conditions or a history of fertility difficulties.
It also enables researchers to collect repeated, breast-specific measurements in studies of lactation physiology, feeding practices, and lactation support interventions.
Home measurements and a professional dashboard facilitate longitudinal tracking and remote follow-up.
When should I start using MyLee?
Ideally you’ll start using the device as soon as possible after birth, for gaining valuable insights early on. The App can be downloaded and used immediately. You can start using MyLee even before birth. We built the MyLee to work with just a few milk drops so it can be valuable early on with your early prenatal colostrum.
Can MyLee increase my supply?
MyLee helps you monitor and understand your milk production progress through early insights into milk maturation. The device provides valuable information and guidance to help you optimize your breastfeeding practices and effectively establish your milk supply.
Can MyLee help with clogged ducts?
Tracking your milk with MyLee can identify early trends and provide insights and recommendations, which might help you manage and prevent issues like milk stasis that when mismanaged may lead to clogged ducts or mastitis.

The story of MyLee - From concept to reality
Becoming Mothers, Facing Unexpected Challenges
As breastfeeding moms, we experienced moments of joy and connection, but also immense challenges. From low milk supply to pain and inflammation, we faced the unexpected frustration and anxiety that came with something we thought would be natural. These struggles ignited our determination to make a change.
Founding MyMilk Labs
As life science PhDs with extensive research experience, we understood that human milk holds invaluable data for supporting a proactive approach to breastfeeding. With this vision, we established MyMilk Labs - the first clinical-standard laboratory dedicated to the analysis of human milk.
The Birth of MyLee R&D
After five years and thousands of milk samples processed, we launched the development of MyLee: the first-ever at-home monitoring system designed to assess breastfeeding through advanced breastmilk sensing. This marked a major leap forward in supporting breastfeeding mothers worldwide.
Meet Mylee - From Validation to Commercial Production
Years of research and development culminated in MyLee’s patent approval, CE/FCC certifications, peer-reviewed publications, and rigorous technology validation. Working closely with lactation consultants and mothers, we refined our technology and successfully produced and validated the first 250 commercial MyLee devices, marking a major milestone in bringing milk-sensing technology from the laboratory into reality.
Enhancing lactation research
Expanding MyLee’s role in human milk research through collaborations and by independent researchers. Supporting longitudinal milk maturation studies with portable sensing technology, flexible on-site and home-based data collection, and connected tools for tracking multiple participants over time.
