Abstract: A system and method for simulating the natural breastfeeding process both through flow rate and through nipple shape is disclosed. The system provides bottles designed after a woman's own breast, rather than a “one-size fits many” generic bottle sold in stores. The system accurately represents the shape of mother's unique nipple types, and use fluid dynamics analysis to match the flow characteristics of bottle nipples to that of actual lactation averages, incorporating dynamic infant suckling pressures. This results in a threaded nipple attachment which provides an affordable way to closely replicate a mother's nipple in terms of shape and flow, such that a nursing baby is not confused by the difference between the two. This in turn increases latching, both within situations where the mother is asserting strictly natural milk, but also where she is sometimes nursing, and sometimes using baby-formula from a bottle.

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).
