MyMilk vision is to promote breastfeeding and human milk quality by science-based means, for the
benefit of mothers and babies worldwide.

MyMilk is aimed at providing mothers with knowledge regarding their own milk properties
Stemming from a solid scientific background, MyMilk service was created to bridge the gap between vast available scientific knowledge and the current lack of effective tools for guiding mothers through breastfeeding challenges.
MyMilk provides wide-range lab-based milk tests and has develped the MyLee - a milk sensing device and
App to help guide mothers through the challenges of breastfeeding.
MyMilk was chosen and the breastmilk testing provider for the national Israeli milk bank during its establishment period.

Dr. Sharon Haramati and Dr. Ravid Shechter – founders and managing partners
Ravid and Sharon both completed their PhD studies at the Weizmann institute of science in the neurobiology department in the faculty of Life science. Their research has been published in leading scientific journals. They founded MyMilk during a simultaneous Maternity leave, in parallel to their full time job as breastfeeding mothers.
Dr. Ravid Shechter-Ushpizin, PhD
Ravid received her B.Sc in Biochemistry from the Technion institute of technology and her direct track Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of science. Ravid's scientific expertise includes immunology, developmental neurobiology, stem cell research and central nervous system repair. Ravid is a mother of two, both of which she proudly breastfed for a total of over 4 years while persisting with her successful full time scientific career. Ravid received many honors and prizes, including the prestigious John. F. Kennedy prize, in recognition of academic excellence and scientific accomplishments.
Dr. Sharon Haramati, PhD
Sharon received her B.Sc. in the joint program for medicine and life sciences From TAU, and her M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of science. Sharon's valued scientific research focused on molecular genetics of behavior, psychiatric disorders, neuroendocrinology, as well as neuropsychology of human memory. During her research, Sharon also completed a program in economics, business, finance and intellectual properties. Sharon overcame many initial breastfeeding difficulties and eventually breastfed her daughter joyfully for over two and a half years, during which she envisioned MyMilk concept.
