About

TheSagePump

Features
Read full description

The Sage Pump was created by a twice-exclusively pumping mom who knows exactly how hard this journey is and how isolating it can feel. After battling severe mastitis and rebuilding her supply from nearly zero through relactation, our founder searched through countless blogs, forums, and resources just to figure out how to keep going. She built The Sage Pump so you don't have to do that alone. This is your all-in-one home for the exclusively pumping life. FEATURES BUILT FOR EP MOMS Pump Log Log every session manually or hands-free with Siri. Because you're already holding a baby, a bottle, and your sanity, you shouldn't have to type too. Stash Management Track your liquid gold. Know exactly what you have, when you pumped it, and how long it's good for. Magic Number & Weaning Calculator Find your magic number and plan your weaning journey on your own timeline, with confidence. EP Reference Videos Quick how-to videos covering the essentials of exclusive pumping, all in one place, no more falling down the rabbit hole at 2am. Community Connect with other EP moms who get it. Share your wins, vent your frustrations, and find your people. Pump Alarms Never miss a session. Set reminders that actually work around your schedule. THE STORY BEHIND THE APP Exclusive pumping is one of the hardest things a mother can do. It's feeding your baby on their terms, on a pump's schedule, around the clock, often without the recognition or support that breastfeeding gets. This app is for the mom who's up at 3am, hooked to a machine, wondering if it's worth it. It is. You are. And you don't have to figure it out alone. More features are coming. This is just the beginning.

Verdict
