Join us to meet the Presque team and learn what we are doing to improve the health of mothers and babies
Every parent wants to give their baby the best possible start in life! With the constant flow of new discoveries around the advantages of breastfeeding to both mother and baby and the current emphasis on increasing breastfeeding rates around the globe, there has never been a better time to launch a revolutionary new product to have a real impact on breastfeeding success rates and the health of moms and babies.
The Presque journey started in 2012 after our founder learned that a family member stopped breastfeeding within the first month postpartum because of insufficient breast milk. This sparked an idea and she continued its development until 2016 when she decided to make it a reality.
We would like to invite you to meet our diverse team of professionals who share this exciting vision and learn about our progress to date and future plans. Space is limited so we have set this as a ‘by invitation’ event. If you are interested in attending please RSVP here. If you know of others whose attendance might be of mutual interest, please share their contact information via private message so we may invite them. We will do our best to accommodate your request.

How Does Presque Benefit Mothers & Babies
Presque benefits mothers and babies, by helping extend the overall duration and frequency of breastfeeding and addresses the reality that many mothers often do not have sufficient milk supply and need the support while they increase their supply, or wish to breastfeed even though not exclusively.
How Does Presque Democratize Parenting Experience
Presque democratizes the parenting experience for adoptive mothers, cis and transgender parents, and mothers through surrogacy who, along with their babies, otherwise miss the valued experience of breastfeeding and the benefits of skin-to-skin contact.
When Can Presque Be Used
Presque may be useful for: inducing of lactation; keeping special-needs babies at the breast, premature babies, underweight babies, weak, ineffective or lazy nursers, failure-to-thrive babies, impaired babies, low-milk supply mothers, and re-lactating mothers.
How Is Presque Practical
Presque is wearable, practical, feminine, and dignified without dangling leaky tubes. And since perceived insufficient milk (PIM) is not accompanied by actual breast milk data, Presque helps moms with knowledge and self-efficacy.
How Does Presque benefit Healthcare Professionals
Presque benefits the healthcare professionals who care for moms and babies, and researchers who aim to understand the lactation process and breastfeeding behavior. Presque can help with collection of valuable front-line health data in low resource settings and when otherwise limited by burden of data collection.
How Is Presque Different
In contrast to other nursers which are gravity driven, the Presque bra delivers the supplement in response to baby’s suckling at mom’s breast while simultaneously breastfeeding. Its unique design also controls supplement flow, delivering it only if needed.
