  • Patent number: 9149414
    Abstract: A nursing assistance device for aiding with the delivery of breast milk and/or formula while augmenting breastfeeding. The nursing assistance device generally includes a housing adapted to be secured to the breast to aid in nursing. The housing includes an inner channel in which a syringe dispenser or dispenser tube may be positioned. Each of the dispensers includes an outlet tube through which fluids such as formula and/or breast milk may be dispensed alongside the nipple. The dispenser tube may be connected to various sources of fluid, such as a pouch. The lower surface of the housing includes a securing member which will enable the housing to be removably and comfortably secured to the breast during use. The outlet tube is positioned directly alongside the nipple so that the infant may latch onto both the nipple and the outlet tube to augment breast feeding and facilitate nipple stimulation.
