Milkscreen Is Now Available In Walmart

Jan. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Austin, TX. (January 26, 2012) – Milkscreen, makers of the world’s only at-home test to detect alcohol in breast milk, is pleased to announce that their signature test strips are now available in select Walmart stores across the country. Now mothers everywhere have the ability to accurately test their breast milk for the presence of alcohol in only two minutes.

Recommended by lactation consultants, Milkscreen test strips provide mothers with the confidence they deserve by allowing them to responsibly have a drink or two while breastfeeding. While it is commonly misconceived that most women are fine to breastfeed after one drink, about 2% of alcohol consumed will enter a woman’s blood stream and pass through their breast milk. Due to the fact that every woman metabolizes alcohol differently, the previous impression of ‘draining’ breast milk does not expedite the process of alcohol being removed from the system but rather wastes it. Milkscreen solves this exact problem. By simply saturating the test pad with breast milk, Milkscreen will precisely determine if the milk contains alcohol or not.

“It’s no secret that most new mothers feel overwhelmed and somewhat restricted during this delicate time,”
said Julie Jumonville, inventor of Milkscreen and longtime breastfeeding advocate. “Milkscreen provides a solution that allows new mothers to take a few moments to themselves with the reassurance that their breast milk does not contain alcohol and we are pleased that our one-of-a-kind product is now available in one of the largest retailers in America. We anticipate that this added accessibility will continue to benefit all breastfeeding mothers nationwide.”

Available nationwide in Babies ‘R’ Us and Target, among others, the new 5-pack of Milkscreen will now be available for purchase for $9.97 at select Walmart stores and coming soon Walmart.com. For more information on Milkscreen or to find a local Walmart retailer, please visit www.milkscreen.com.
