Do mums really need breastfeeding help from technology?

Ashley Albert, 34, from Sacramento,

California, is a real estate executive and the proud mother of Kayley and Teagan, both under four years old.
She says she found using Baby Connect, an app that helps parents record breastfeeds, nappy changes, sleep times and so on, very useful.
"The newborn days are such a blur - you're in survival mode - so having something to look back to was essential," she says.
"It helped me with knowing how long in-between feedings my baby had gone, what side she last fed on - because I could never remember - and for how long she was averaging."
The advantages of breastfeeding are well-known, with medical bodies across the world recommending the practice for the health benefits it provides both babies and mothers.
