Imagine holding a tiny life, a preemie weighing just over a pound, in your hands. That was my reality back in 2002 when my third daughter was born prematurely. The constant worry and the need to monitor her growth and nutrition were overwhelming. But here's where it gets controversial: what if I told you there's a new breastfeeding monitor, Coro, that could have made this journey a little less daunting?
Coro, a silicone nipple shield with a twist, is set to debut at CES 2026. James Bricknell, our senior editor, is here to tell us more about this innovative product. With years of experience writing about technology and a deep love for maker tools, James is the perfect guide to navigate us through Coro's features.
The shield, with its integrated flow rate monitor, measures breast milk delivery with incredible precision - down to 0.01 milliliters! The companion app provides real-time insights, allowing parents to monitor their baby's milk intake effortlessly. Announced at CES 2026, Coro is expected to hit the market in September 2026, complete with a free monitoring app and an Apple Watch app.
When my preemie was born, we relied on scales and guesswork to monitor her weight and milk intake. Formula-feeding parents have the advantage of measuring volume, but breastfeeding moms often lack this clarity. Coro aims to bridge this gap, offering real-time monitoring and tracking of milk intake over time and across both breasts.
The peace of mind that Coro could provide is invaluable, especially for parents of preemies. At an estimated price of $299, it's a small price to pay for the reassurance it offers.
