History

The HelpMe Feed Foundation was formed by team members from Small World Social who shared a vision to use new technology to support young families around the world on how to learn to breastfeed and care for new infants.Шаблон:Citation needed With a dedicated team of volunteers, the members of Small World Social shared the goal of managing the creation and distribution of the HelpMe Feed app globally.[3]

The group came together in 2014 when Maddy Sands of Small World Social saw an opportunity to use new technology to support women learning to breastfeeding.[4] Originally, the project began as the Google Glass breastfeeding app trial.[5] This trial was supported by the Australian Breastfeeding Association.[6][7]

Karina Ayers, RN IBCLC joined the HelpMe Feed Foundation in 2015. From there, the foundation turned its focus towards building the HelpMe Feed app: a subscription-based tool that scales the support offered by health professionals to breastfeeding mothers.[8][9] It includes a library of breastfeeding support videos and resources.[4]
