Device for helping a baby latch onto a breast for use in breastfeeding

摘要

A compression device for use in helping a woman breastfeed an infant. The device has opposed fingers which are movable towards and apart from each other. Just prior to nursing, compression device is placed over the breast centered on the nipple. The compression device compresses the breast tissue between the opposed fingers to form more of a V-shaped wedge for the mouth of the infant to latch onto. Once the infant has successfully latched onto the breast and nursing is initiated the fingers may be moved apart and compression device removed.
