AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a breastfeeding cover-up that provides complete privacy to the mother. It also allows the mother to see the baby while breastfeeding and ensures that the baby breathes properly.

Problems solved by technology

When breast feeding or breast pumping, a mother typically exposes the upper portion of her torso, by opening their clothes and unhooking her bra which may make her uncomfortable if located in a public or highly trafficked area.

Breast feeding in public has always been a challenge for mothers.

Such efforts at concealment may be hindered or even thwarted, however, if the baby pulls the blanket off the mother's shoulder or pushes it aside, as is often the case.

Also, drawback of using blanket or cloth is that adequate breathing space is not created for the infant which may lead to asphyxia, further it is not possible for the mother to look at the infant during the process of breast feeding.

Each of these designs, however, has its own limitation.

However, such products do allow the mothers to look at the infants through a small pocket but not completely as the hole is quite small and also they do not provide mothers with the desired level of privacy.

Specially while unhooking of bra the back of the mother becomes visible which may be embarrassing.

Also, many infants do not like the sensation created by this type of covering and struggle to move the material away, making for a very disruptive feeding environment.

However, it can only be used to cover either the left breast or right breast of the mother, also back of the mother remains uncovered.
