Hoops have NFC (Near Field Communication) tags inside of them (the same type of chip on your credit card that allows you to tap-to-pay). NFCs emit extremely low-level, non-ionizing radio frequency (RF) radiation at 13.56 MHz, which lacks the energy to damage DNA or cells. Operating through magnetic induction at very close range, passive NFC tags do not emit radiation independently, only reacting to active readers such as a smart phone.

HoopDee uses the CDC’s Breast Milk Storage and Preparationand 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! The app tracks your frozen supply and sends you notifications as frozen milk approaches expiration.

The CDC states breast milk begins to lose nutritional value after 6 months, but can be stored for up to 12 months. The HoopDee app will allow users to choose if they want to keep their milk in the freezer for 6 or 12 months and freezer expiration times will calculate accordingly.

Yes! Go to your profile and then Families. Select the Family you would like to invite other caregivers too. 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.

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.

HoopDee will never share your phone number. We ask for this when you first log on as a unique ID.

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

HoopDee does not sell any of your data.
