About this project
FeedArt is a revolutionary cool gadget with a Smartphone App, designed for real-time monitoring your baby's breastfeeding, help tracking his proper growth, improving natural breastfeeding and making it possible for your love to be measured.
The major difficulty with breastfeeding is to know in real-time how much your baby has nursed, for some psychological and physiological malnutrition may occur. Up until now, no reliable, accurate, real time and with no interference of the baby's breastfeeding cycle was available. This fact prevented your baby from eating freely; making him and you nervous while substantially reducing the quantity he eats.
With FeedArt's application, for the first time, your baby may nurse freely while you are able to keep track of the quantities he eats while he eats.
This newly designed digital gadget presents accurate detailed information on your Smartphone which you can also share on-line with the baby's Doctor and your breastfeeding consultant, regarding each breastfeeding cycle.
It keeps historical data and comparable to past breastfeeding and common averages for the baby's age.
Your innovative FeedArt will show you information needed concerning your baby's feeds such as: Quantities, flow, amount per breastfeeding comparable breastfeeding history and more will be graphically presented on your Smartphone screen.
FeedArt will keep a log of all the information and show you daily & monthly eating habits, so you can keep track of the baby's proper development.
It’s a known fact!
Breastfeeding/nursing is recommended based on scientific research. Breastfeed baby’s where show to have improved immune systems, less likely to get sick or infections and allergies.
Breastfeeding/nursing doesn't always go smoothly and it is difficult to know how much your baby has actually consumed. Women around the world are aware of this fact and are searching for ways to keep track of their baby's feeding habits and volume.
Worldwide statistics show that up to 35% of women that breastfeed say they have to know exactly how much their baby has consumed. Our newly designed product measures your baby's consumption precisely and evaluates the milk flow.
How it works
With FeedArt's digital product and Smartphone App you simply place the bio-compatible silicone ring on your breast areola, around the nipple without interference during breastfeeding. The data collected by the digital device is then transmitted to your Smartphone for processing and presenting a real-time output concerning your baby's breastfeeding.
FeedArt joins the fast growing technology of cutting edge Smartphone Apps showing real time information by tracking your body's activity.
FeedArt App will work with iPhone, Android and Blackberry.

Why do we need the support of the Indiegogo crow
We have already developed the measuring technology and the product and tested the prototype shown above.
We have also characterized and designed the application and its user interface and completed other phases of the product.
However, there are still more creative elements ahead of us: Final product design and completing the interactive Smartphone applications, listing and starting serial production for supplying the FeedArt to you – Indiegogo backers, before starting marketing and sales.
We are trying to revolutionize the world of breastfeeding by implementing an innovative design for mothers' and babies around the world.
By backing the project, you will join the FeedArt Revolution and Breastfeeding evolution and pre-order FeedArt, to be one of the first in the world to use it.
Only together we can do it !
