Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breastfeeding appliances, in particular to a novel breastfeeding device. Background Art

[0002] Studies have shown that breastfed babies develop healthier, with benefits including enhanced immunity, improved intelligence, reduced incidence of sudden infant death syndrome, reduced childhood obesity, reduced risk of allergic diseases, etc. From a physiological and psychological perspective, breastfeeding has a great positive impact on postpartum recovery: it can enhance the mother-child relationship and effectively prevent postpartum depression; it can promote the recovery of the mother's uterus after childbirth; and it can cultivate the baby's excellent character quality of "delayed gratification".

[0003] Some newborns often cannot be breastfed smoothly immediately after birth. On the one hand, it is because the mother will not secrete enough milk immediately after giving birth, especially for premature babies. During this period, they need to be fed with bottles. After a period of bottle feeding, the baby will only be willing to drink from the bottle and will not accept breastfeeding from the mother. In addition, babies who have been breastfed may not accept bottle feeding when they cannot continue breastfeeding for some reason, such as the mother cannot continue breastfeeding due to taking medicine. Due to the difference in taste and touch between the bottle nipple and the human nipple, and the difference in the timing and speed of milk secretion, the conversion between nipple feeding and breastfeeding is not accepted by the baby, which makes the baby have a strong resistance and makes the conversion process extremely difficult.

[0004] Existing pacifiers generally try to make the material as close to that of human nipples as possible, which is obviously difficult to achieve. Utility Model Content

[0026] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] This embodiment provides a new type of breastfeeding device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a connection seat 1 worn on the chest of a breastfeeding person, and a wearing hole 2 is arranged in the middle of the connection seat 1. At least two milk guide tubes 3 for externally connecting breast milk substitutes are arranged around the wearing hole 2, and the milk guide tubes 3 are connected to the milk source containing the breast milk substitute. The milk guide tubes 3 are extended from the connection seat 1 to the front side of the breastfeeding person. The milk guide tubes 3 are connected by an elastic ring 7, and at least two milk guide tubes 3 are arranged around the elastic ring 7. The elastic ring 7 plays a role in connecting multiple milk guide tubes 3, and the elastic ring 7 is also put on the human nipple. The elastic ring 7 is made of flexible material, which can be fixed on the nipple while allowing the milk guide tube 3 to adhere to the nipple, maintaining a good comfort level.

[0029] There is a gap between two adjacent milk guide tubes 3 to expose the nipple. Two, three or four milk guide tubes 3 can be provided, and different numbers of milk guide tubes can be provided according to feeding needs. One end of the milk guide tube 3 away from the connecting seat 1 is provided in a smooth shape without edges and corners to prevent the baby from scratching the mouth when sucking the nipple.

[0030] When the breastfeeding device of this embodiment is used, the connection base 1 is worn on the breast of the breastfeeding person, the nipple is inserted through the wearing hole, the elastic ring 7 is put on the nipple, and the milk guide tube 3 is attached around the nipple. During breastfeeding, the baby's mouth can contact the human nipple, and at the same time, the baby can absorb breast milk substitute through the milk guide tube 3, so that breast milk substitute feeding and breast milk feeding can be carried out simultaneously.

[0031] When the baby switches from bottle feeding to breast feeding, the mother can wear the breastfeeding device of this embodiment. Since the mother's nipple can be in contact with the fetus's mouth when feeding with a breast milk substitute through the milk duct 3, the mother's nipple can be massaged by the fetus's mouth continuously, which promotes the mother's secretion of prolactin. The secretion of prolactin can well promote the secretion of milk and prepare for subsequent breastfeeding. Prolactin can also well promote the recovery of the mother's uterus after delivery. By gradually reducing the delivery volume of the breast milk substitute transmitted by the milk duct 3, the baby can gradually accept breastfeeding, making the milk transition process smoother.

[0032] When the baby switches from breastfeeding to bottle feeding, the mother can gradually increase the amount of breast milk substitute delivered by the milk duct 3 while wearing the breastfeeding device of this embodiment to breastfeed, so that the baby can gradually get used to the breast milk substitute while contacting the mother's nipple, so that when the baby stops feeding with the breast milk substitute, the baby will not refuse milk.

[0033] As a preferred implementation mode, Figure 5 The cross section of the milk guide tube 3 is flat-mouthed. When the connection base 1 is worn on the breast of the breastfeeding person, the milk guide tube 3 is attached to the wearer's nipple. The cross section of the milk guide tube 3 can be crescent-shaped and the inner short side is arranged close to the nipple. When the milk guide tube 3 is attached to the nipple, the outer side of the milk guide tube 3 has good smoothness to avoid a strong sense of abruptness, making it easier for the baby to accept. The cross section of the milk guide tube 3 and the channel 31 in the milk guide tube can also be an elliptical structure.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, when the connecting seat 1 is worn on the chest of a breastfeeding person, the height of the wearer's nipple is flush with the height of the outlet of the milk duct 3, that is, when the wearer's nipple is covered in the elastic ring 7 for breastfeeding, the nipple is flush with the milk duct 3, which is more conducive to the baby's sucking and reduces the impact of the milk duct 3 on the nipple.

[0035] The height of the wearer's nipple can also be slightly higher than the height of the outlet of the milk duct 3, or slightly lower than the height of the outlet of the milk duct 3, so that the baby's mouth can contain the nipple and the milk duct 3 at the same time during breastfeeding.

[0036] As a preferred implementation mode, Figure 2 As shown, a milk guide channel 4 is provided inside the connection seat 1, and the milk guide channel 4 extends from the middle of the connection seat 1 to the edge of the connection seat 1, one end of the milk guide channel 4 is connected to the milk guide tube 3, and the other end is connected to the milk source through the conduit 6. The conduit 6 can be detachably connected to the milk guide channel 4 through a connector, and the conduit 6 can be integrally connected to the connection seat 1. The milk guide tube 3 is connected to the conduit 6 through the milk guide channel 4, and the conduit 6 extends into the milk source, so that the breast milk substitute in the milk source is transferred to the conduit 6.

[0037] When feeding with a breast milk substitute, the baby can absorb the breast milk substitute from the duct 6 by sucking, or the breast milk substitute in the milk source can be actively sent to the milk duct 3 by pressurizing the milk source.

[0038] It should be noted that the catheter 6, milk guide channel 4 and milk guide tube 3 can also be set as an integrated infusion tube, which is detachably connected to the connecting seat 1, and the infusion tube can have one end passing through the middle of the connecting seat 1 and the other end extending from the edge of the connecting seat.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, a control button 5 is provided on the outer side of the connection seat 1 corresponding to the milk conduction channel 4, and pressing the control button 5 can adjust the flow rate of the liquid in the milk conduction channel 4. When the control button 5 is pressed, the control button 5 squeezes the milk conduction channel 4 to reduce the flow rate; when the control button 5 is released, the control button 5 reduces the squeezing effect on the milk conduction channel 4, and the flow rate increases. The control button 5 and the connection seat 1 can be an integrated structure.

[0040] In addition, the control button may not be provided on the connection base 1, but the control button 5 may be provided on the conduit 6, which can also adjust the liquid discharge speed.

[0041] Since the mother's milk does not come as fast as the bottle, the baby cannot wait, which is one of the reasons why the baby refuses breastfeeding after feeding with a bottle as a breast milk substitute. In order to better control the milk discharge sequence, the control button 5 is set to control the flow rate and size of the liquid in the milk guide channel 4, so that the normal breast milk discharge sequence (cultivating the baby's "delayed satisfaction" character quality) and flow condition can be well imitated.

[0042] As a preferred implementation mode, Figure 3 As shown, a protrusion is provided on the inner side wall of the milk-conducting channel 4 corresponding to the control button 5, and a groove 52 matching the protrusion 51 is provided on the opposite side wall in the milk-conducting channel 4. When the control button 5 is pressed, the protrusion 51 moves closer to the groove 52. The cooperation between the protrusion 51 and the groove 52 can more effectively change the size of the milk-conducting channel 4 at the control button 5, and play a role in positioning, so that the flow rate is more stably regulated.

[0043] As a preferred implementation mode, Figure 4 As shown, the connection base 1 includes an inner suction cup 11 and an outer suction cup 12, wherein the inner suction cup 11 is arranged inside the outer suction cup 12 and is coaxially arranged with the outer suction cup 12. The height of the inner suction cup 11 is smaller than that of the outer suction cup.

[0044] When a person wears the connecting seat 1, the inner suction cup 11 and the outer suction cup 12 are arranged around the periphery of the nipple, and the wearing is made more secure through the double-layer adsorption effect.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the connection seat 1 is semicircular or petal-shaped. The inner suction cup 11 and the outer suction cup 12 can be semicircular or petal-shaped, so that it has better covering performance when worn on the chest.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the connection seat 1, the milk guide tube 3 and the elastic ring 7 are an integrated structure. The connection seat 1, the milk guide tube 3 and the elastic ring 7 can be integrally injection molded by latex material, which has a simple structure and low cost.

[0047] In addition, the elastic ring 7 can also be made of a material with greater elasticity than the connecting seat 1 and the milk guide tube 3, such as a rubber band. The elastic ring 7 connects multiple milk guide tubes by passing through a side wall of the milk guide tube 3.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
