How does Amme integrate with Apple Health?

Amme automatically syncs all your nursing and pumping data to Apple Health using the lactation datapoint. This creates a comprehensive health record that's part of your overall wellness data, accessible across all your Apple devices.

What is the lactation datapoint in Apple Health?

The lactation datapoint is Apple's official health metric for tracking breastfeeding and pumping sessions. It stores timing, duration, and volume data, making it a standardized way to record feeding information in your health records.

Can I see my nursing data in the Health app?

Yes! All sessions tracked in Amme appear in the Apple Health app under the lactation category. You can view charts, trends, and detailed logs of your nursing and pumping history directly in Health.

Will my data sync across devices?

Apple Health data syncs across all your iOS devices signed into the same iCloud account. However, Amme stores data locally on each device for privacy. The Health integration provides the cross-device sync functionality.

Do I need to enable anything for Health integration?

When you first use Amme, you'll be prompted to grant permission for Health access. Simply approve the lactation datapoint permission, and Amme will automatically sync all your nursing and pumping sessions to Health.

Can I share my lactation data with healthcare providers?

Yes! Since your data is stored in Apple Health, you can use Health's sharing features to provide your lactation consultant, pediatrician, or other healthcare providers with access to your nursing and pumping records.

Does Health integration work offline?

Yes. Amme tracks sessions offline and syncs them to Apple Health whenever possible. Health data is stored locally on your device and syncs to iCloud when you're connected, maintaining privacy and offline functionality.
