Milkyway is a smart IoT service that assists novice parents of the MZ generation in efficiently and intelligently managing their baby's bottle feeding in the digital era. While current feeding management methods are analog and inconvenient, Milkyway enhances the bottle feeding experience, supporting the well-being and happiness of novice caregivers and their families. Throughout the stages of feeding, Milkyway addresses the challenges faced by caregivers. Before feeding, it provides optimal alerts tailored to each stage and offers visual feedback through intuitive feeding progress bars, allowing caregivers to easily monitor daily feeding progress. During feeding, real-time AI-based feedback is delivered via IoT bottles, enabling flexible responses to the baby's needs. Additionally, caregivers who are not directly involved in feeding can receive updates via the app's real-time page, facilitating collaborative management and smooth communication. After feeding, Milkyway offers real-time feeding automation logs linked to sensor data from IoT bottles and provides customized solutions tailored to the baby's growth. Leveraging digital technology, Milkyway empowers novice parents to manage feeding more easily and effectively, while supporting caregivers in achieving greater independence.
