Parents often rely on multiple tools to track baby activities, monitor health symptoms, access educational resources, and connect with lactation professionals. The goal of this project was to develop a unified digital platform that supports parents throughout pregnancy and postpartum while enabling certified lactation consultants to connect with families more effectively.
Parenting tools are often fragmented, requiring users to switch between multiple apps for baby tracking, health monitoring, educational content, and professional support. The objective was to build a single platform capable of supporting both parents and lactation consultants while maintaining strong privacy and security standards.

Virstack developed a mobile platform that integrates baby tracking, lactation education, and professional consultation services into a single application.
Parents can create multiple baby profiles and log activities such as feeding, pumping, sleep, diaper changes, and growth measurements. Growth data can be monitored against pediatric growth charts.
The platform allows both baby and parent symptoms to be tracked. Emotional wellness monitoring triggers screening tools when patterns of negative emotional states are detected.
Evidence-based articles created by lactation professionals are delivered through a content management system based on the user’s parenting stage.
Parents can browse certified lactation consultants, view availability, and schedule consultations including virtual, in-office, or home visits.
Approved providers can manage appointment availability, sync external calendars, and conduct virtual consultations through integrated tools.
Parents can grant providers controlled access to baby activity data, growth charts, and symptom records to support consultations.
Administrators can manage educational content, approve provider registrations, and oversee platform users.
The platform created a centralized ecosystem for parenting support and lactation consultation.
