Abstract: A nursing monitoring device includes an inlet conduit with an inlet opening to enable milk that is released from a nipple to enter the inlet conduit. An outlet conduit with an outlet opening enables milk from the outlet conduit to enter a mouth of a nursing child. A measurement unit connected to the inlet conduit and to the outlet conduit enables measurement of a property of the milk that flows from the inlet conduit to the outlet conduit via the measurement unit. The outlet conduit is sufficiently long to enable placement of the measurement unit laterally to the mouth.
