Abstract: A process of 3D scanning lactating women's breasts to generate an AutoCAD model of the maternal nipple is disclosed. The 3D scanning and generation of a plurality of maternal nipple shapes for creation of breastfeeding accessories and molds is intended to closely mimic a specific mother's unique nipple shape, which can vary widely from one woman to another. The embodiments eliminate nipple confusion in infants being introduced to a bottle nipple and pacifier, in order to promote prolonged breastfeeding. Mimicking a mother's unique nipple shape helps create accessories that better fit a mother's unique nipple size and shape and decrease pain (i.e. pump flange and nipple shield).
