HoopDee uses the CDC’s Breast Milk Storage and Preparation and baby formula recommendations.

You are the owner of your milk and the decision is yours. HoopDee merely makes suggestions based on CDC guidelines. The app will move milk that has expired based on your input and those guidelines to the Expired page. You will be able to access the expired milk in the app and still see its details if you wish to manually track it.

Yes! Currently, the app is set to send you notifications as frozen milk approaches six months. After six months, the app will indicate that your frozen milk has expired. While the CDC states breast milk can be stored for up to 12 months, breast milk begins to lose nutritional value after six.

Very soon, the HoopDee app will allow users to choose how long they want to keep their milk in the freezer (anywhere from 6 to 12 months) and freezer expiration times will calculate accordingly.

Not at this time, but as the app grows in popularity, we will include more options and features!

Yes! Open the app, click on your initials in the upper right corner. Then click Families. From there you can invite anyone from your phone’s contacts.

The supply is based on how much of your inventory your child (or children) consumes each day and your current inventory. To accurately calculate your supply, enter your bag or bottle’s volume of food for every entry.

The Manual Counting Method is based on the amount you specify as Baby’s Daily Consumption and your current inventory.

The Auto-populate Counting Method is for users that always enter their child’s feedings in the app. To enter feedings in the app, tap on the bottle in the app, tap “Use,” select the feeding status, then tap “Finish Feeding” when the feeding is complete and enter the “Volume remaining” per the app’s prompt, and tap “Save”. With Auto-populate, the supply is based on how much your baby has consumed daily for the past 7 days (per what was originally in each bottle and how much was left post-feedings) and your current inventory. If you have not continuously entered feedings for the last 7 days, switch to the Manual Counting Method to avoid inaccuracies. Once you have 7 days of feedings in the app, you can switch back to Auto-populate.

These calculations are estimates. The calculations should NOT replace professional medical advice. Always consult your child’s doctor or a qualified healthcare provider if you have questions about a medical 

Baby formula or thawed breast milk should never be frozen. To prevent parents and caregivers from making this mistake, we’ve conveniently made it impossible to select these combinations when adding food. Here's a helpful video on adding bottles and bags to your inventory.

Since baby formula has shorter and more limited storage timeframes, we recommend entering your bottles as “baby formula” if you mix breast milk with baby formula.

While we're not endorsing the pitcher method, it is a popular way to collect breast milk throughout the day in one large container. When you pour milk from the pitcher to your bottles, we recommend retroactively entering the time on the “Add Food” page to the time of your first pump and pour into the pitcher. You can watch a short How-To video here.
