What is Mone Wellness?

Mone Wellness is an all-in-one postpartum wellness app designed to support new mothers through the fourth trimester — the 12 weeks after birth. It provides personalized recovery plans across eight pillars of wellness (Optimal Recovery, Emotional Well-Being, Nourishment, Movement, Baby Care, Family Relations, Environment, and Family Planning), daily health logging, expert articles and video guides, AI-powered advice, and a supportive community — all built by an OB/GYN, Registered Dietitian, and Postpartum Doula.

What makes Mone Wellness different from other postpartum apps?

Most postpartum apps focus on one dimension — baby tracking or mood journaling. Mone Wellness simultaneously addresses all eight pillars of postpartum health and was built by practicing clinicians: a Board-Certified OB/GYN, a Registered Dietitian and Women's Health Nurse, and a Certified Postpartum Doula. It combines clinical-grade content with daily logging, AI-powered personalized advice, community forums, and partner-sharing tools — making it the only app that treats the fourth trimester as comprehensively as pregnancy itself.

What is the fourth trimester?

The fourth trimester refers to the first three months after childbirth — a period of intense physical recovery, hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, and emotional adjustment for new mothers. It is as demanding as any trimester of pregnancy yet receives far less clinical support. Mone Wellness was built specifically to fill that gap.

What can I track in the Mone Wellness app?

You can log mood, symptoms, hydration, meals, macros, baby feeding sessions, baby sleep, and diaper changes — all from a single daily log screen. Entries are time-stamped and can be shared with your partner, family, or care team via weekly email updates.

What are the eight pillars of postpartum wellness in Mone Wellness?

The eight pillars are: 1) Optimal Recovery — physical healing, pelvic floor, and postpartum body; 2) Emotional Well-Being — mood, mental health, and postpartum depression support; 3) Nourishment — nutrition, macros, and lactation support; 4) Movement — postpartum exercise and guided workouts; 5) Baby Care — feeding, sleep, and diaper tracking; 6) Family Relations — partner tips and relationship support; 7) Environment — home and support systems; 8) Family Planning — contraception and future pregnancy planning.

Is Mone Wellness available on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Mone Wellness is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) via the Apple App Store and on Android via Google Play.

Who created Mone Wellness?

Mone Wellness was founded by Dr. Katherine Hom (Board-Certified OB/GYN, FACOG, with certification in Women's Functional and Integrative Medicine from UC Irvine), Savannah Miller (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Women's Health Nurse from San Diego State University), and Brooke Orloff (Certified Prenatal and Postpartum Doula and Lactation Counselor). Together they bring evidence-based, integrative clinical expertise to postpartum care.

How does Mone Wellness personalize content for me?

When you first open Mone Wellness, you complete a short onboarding quiz about your postpartum stage, health goals, and personal priorities. The app uses your answers to curate personalized articles, tips, video guides, and recovery plans across the eight pillars most relevant to your journey — because no two postpartum experiences are the same.

Is Mone Wellness free?

Mone Wellness is free to download on iOS and Android. A subscription unlocks full access to all eight pillars of content, personalized plans, video guides, AI-powered advice, and community features.

Baby Care

What to Expect with Baby Poops and Pees That First Week

In addition to possibly thinking about your own bowel movements postpartum, you are most definitely thinking about (and tracking) your newborn's. Here's what to expect that first week:

Poops (a.k.a. Stools)

Days 1–3: Meconium
A baby's first poops are called meconium. It's thick, sticky, and dark (black or dark green), and created in utero from digested cells, amniotic fluid, and mucus.
Fun fact: Colostrum has a laxative effect to help flush out this sticky substance.
Days 2–4: Transitional Stool
With the introduction of milk, the poops will begin to transition to a brown-green color and looser texture.
Day 5+: Milk Stool
Breastfed babies will typically have mustard-yellow, seedy, and loose stools with a mild smell. Formula-fed babies will also have a yellow, sometimes brown, pasty stool with more of an odor.

Pees (a.k.a. Voids)

Monitoring a baby's urine output is also essential in ensuring adequate milk intake.

Days 1–3: Babies should have at least one or two wet diapers daily.
Day 4: At least six wet diapers per day.

Output patterns that may indicate feeding challenges include:

Not passing transitional or seedy, yellow stools by day 4.
Having fewer than six clear pees per day by day 4.
Appearance of urate crystals (red/orange) in the diaper after day 3.
Fewer than four daily stools by day 4 of life.

Tracking color, consistency, and frequency in the first week gives you and your team a baseline. It sheds light on baby's feedings, and weight loss or gain patterns. If something feels off and baby is exhibiting other signs of discomfort or illness, consult with your pediatrician. If a baby doesn't have transitional stools or seedy stools by day 4, it is important to consult with a pediatrician and a lactation professional to ensure adequate milk intake. If you notice white stools, blood in the stool, black stool after the meconium stage, diarrhea with fever or other signs of dehydration, or hard stools with straining and discomfort, seek medical attention.

Use the Diaper Change and Baby Feeding Logs to help keep track of patterns for your appointments, and for some peace of mind.
