Abstract: A device for protecting a nipple of a mother during nursing includes a collar generally configured to removably join to a portion of the mother's breast surrounding the nipple. The collar includes an annular opening and a cut out for enabling additional skin contact between the mother and the feeding baby. The collar is comprised of a pliable material. Means removably joins the collar to the mother's breast. A funnel extends from the annular opening for surrounding the nipple. The funnel includes an opening at a distal end for enabling the mother's milk to flow out to a feeding baby. The collar is comprised of a pliable material and a wall of the funnel is generally thicker than a wall of the collar for mitigating effects of the nipple being bitten by the feeding baby.
