About Cora

Start here if you want the shortest explanation of what Cora is and how it fits into everyday feeding support.

What is Cora?
Cora is an AI breastfeeding coach and tracker that helps you log feeds, understand patterns, and get calm guidance when you are unsure what comes next. It is designed for everyday support, not to replace professional care, so it keeps the focus on practical help you can use right away.
Can Cora replace a lactation consultant?
No. Cora is a support tool that can help you think through common breastfeeding questions and track what is happening over time, but it does not replace a lactation consultant or any qualified clinician. If something feels urgent or unusual, professional care should come first.
Who develops and reviews Cora's guidance?
Cora is developed and reviewed with the midwife and nurse team at Co-nurse, led by one of our co-founders, a practising nurse. Cora remains an educational and tracking companion, not a medical service. For symptoms or urgent concerns, contact your healthcare provider.

Breastfeeding Basics

These questions cover the everyday patterns parents usually want to understand first, from logging sessions to recognizing common feeding rhythms.

What is a breastfeeding tracker?
A breastfeeding tracker is a tool for logging nursing and pumping sessions so you can see timing, duration, and patterns over time. It turns a hard-to-remember routine into a simple record for later review, which can make day-to-day feeding feel less scattered and easier to review when you are trying to remember what happened across several tiring days.
Is Cora for pumping too?
Yes. Cora is built to track pumping alongside breastfeeding, so both can live in the same log with less friction. That makes it easier to compare sessions, notice routines, and keep your feeding history in one place without switching between separate tools. The point is not to make you think about a separate system for every feeding method, but to keep the record unified and practical.
How often do newborns usually breastfeed?
Newborn feeding frequency varies, but many babies feed often in the early weeks, and your own baby's rhythm may change from day to day. Cora helps you log what actually happens so you can review patterns with more context. If you are worried, talk to your healthcare provider, because a tracker can show patterns but it cannot tell you whether a specific situation is normal for your baby.
What is cluster feeding?
Cluster feeding is a pattern where a baby feeds more frequently during a short stretch of time, often in the evening or during growth spurts. It is common in early infancy. Cora helps you spot that pattern in your log so the extra feeds feel easier to understand and less mysterious, especially when the routine changes faster than you can keep up with it in your head.
Can Cora help with night feeds?
Yes. Cora is useful during night feeds because it keeps logging and guidance simple when you are tired and the room is dark. The goal is quick support, not extra work, so you can record a session and move on without losing your place. It is designed to feel easy to reopen at 3am, when the priority is getting the information down and getting back to the baby.

Privacy & Safety

These answers explain how Cora handles privacy and how to think about the product as a wellness companion, not a substitute for care.

How does Cora protect my privacy?
Cora protects privacy by using consent-based tracking, keeping data handling limited to what the product needs, and supporting GDPR-aligned privacy practices. Your choices can be changed later, and your data is encrypted in transit. If you stop using Cora, you can delete your data. The overall approach is to make privacy understandable, visible, and reversible instead of hiding it behind jargon.
Can I ask Cora medical questions?
Yes, you can ask Cora general breastfeeding questions, but it is not a replacement for a medical professional. Cora is meant to share educational information and help you think through common issues in plain language. For symptoms, urgent concerns, or anything that feels serious, contact your healthcare provider. The assistant can help you organize the question, but it should not be treated as the final word on medical decisions.
Does Cora give medical advice?
No. Cora provides educational guidance and tracking support, not diagnosis or treatment. That boundary keeps the product focused on helpful information while leaving medical decisions to qualified clinicians. If you need advice about a symptom, worsening pain, or your baby's health, seek professional care. That is why the product makes the boundary explicit instead of hoping users will infer it from the tone.

Pricing & Availability

These answers cover launch timing, language availability, and how pricing is shown without guessing at numbers before the product is live.

Is Cora free?
Cora is free to download, and tracking your feeding and pumping sessions is free to use. The Cora AI coach runs on credits: a set amount is included when you start, and when those run out a monthly or six-month subscription adds more. Tracking stays available whether or not you subscribe.
Which languages does Cora support?
Cora is available in seven languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Arabic, and Italian. The app follows your device language when it matches one of these, and you can change it in the app settings at any time.
Where can I download Cora?
Cora is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. You can install it from the download badge on this site or by searching for Cora in the App Store. It is free to download. Android support is planned, and a Google Play link will appear here once that listing is live.
