mōmis mission is to make life better for moms and their babies with technologies that work naturally.
We launched "the bottle that works like a mom" in late 2022, and are working on "the breast pump that works like a baby".
Our founder / inventor Carr Lane Quackenbush formerly led Medela Inc., a leading global breast pump manufacturer. Upon retirement, he was convinced that the industry had yet to deliver a breast pump or infant feeding system that replicated the important biomechanical function of natural nursing. He set about to change that.
