Artificial pacifiers and breastfeeders and pacifier toys using such artificial pacifiers

Abstract

An artificial pacifier, a breastfeeding device and a pacifier toy using the artificial pacifier, which enable the front end of the pacifier to sufficiently reach a nursing nest and be properly crushed, and reliably perform breastfeeding movements in this state. The artificial teat of the present invention is a substantially conical hollow body as a whole, and has: a base portion whose diameter is enlarged corresponding to an attachment object; a teat ring portion that extends in a gradually reduced diameter; Diameter, and a teat portion that extends while gradually shrinking in diameter at a diameter reduction rate smaller than the diameter reduction rate of the teat ring portion, the teat ring portion has a thickness greater than that of the teat portion, and The teat part is set to be long enough to reach the nursing nest, and has a weak part at the boundary between the teat ring part and the teat part, and the weak part is made thinner than the teat ring part. And it is thicker than the said teat part, and is formed in the shape of a band along the circumference of this position.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improvement of an artificial nipple suitable for a breastfeeding device, a breastfeeding device having the improved artificial nipple, and a nipple toy. Background technique [0002] Artificial pacifiers installed on bottles containing milk or pre-squeezed breast milk have been widely used. [0003] In particular, a stretch-type artificial pacifier has been proposed (refer to Patent Document 1), which is characterized in that, when breastfeeding from a breastfeeding device, the tip of the artificial pacifier is stretched in the mouth of an infant to reach the nursing socket, wherein, Nursing nest refers to the depression in the upper jaw that can only be seen in infants during lactation. [0004] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-6809 [0005] However, in such artificial pacifiers, it is difficult to obtain the desired elongation performance during breastfeeding (while ingesting a drink), and...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in such an artificial nipple, it is difficult to obtain the desired elongation performance during breastfeeding (drinking), and there are differences in the sucking strength of infants, etc., so that it may not reach the nursing nest in actual use.

[0006] In addition, the spherical tip of the nipple may not be sufficiently crushed by the pressing force of the infant's tongue during movement such as peristalsis.

Especially in the case of a spherical shape with a slightly enlarged diameter at the front end of the artificial nipple (refer to the Figure 7 It is easy to understand), because the front part of the nipple cannot be fully crushed, so during the breastfeeding movement, not only the front part cannot be guided to the nursing nest, but on the contrary, the front part of the nipple is detached from the nursing nest due to being pushed back. The problem that beverages such as milk cannot be squeezed out smoothly
