Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de déterminer la quantité de lait maternel donné à un nourrisson au cours d'une session d'allaitement. Cet appareil comprend un capuchon de nourriture (12) conçu pour être monté sur la région du sein de la poitrine (26) d'une mère. Le capuchon (12) définit un orifice de sortie (20) à travers lequel le lait passe pour alimenter le nourrisson. Un débitmètre (14) permet de mesurer la quantité de lait passant à travers l'orifice de sortie (20).
