Systems, devices, and methods for delivering a therapeutic or other agent to a breastfeeding child are disclosed herein. A delivery system configured in accordance with the present technology can include, for example, a wearable device configured to be positioned on a breast during breastfeeding. The system can further include an agent source configured to house the agent and a fluid source configured to supply a supplemental fluid. The agent source and fluid source can be fluidly coupled to the wearable device via a connector. When the device is positioned on the breast and the child is breastfeeding, the supplemental fluid mixes with the agent and flows through the connector into the wearable device and into the mouth of the breastfeeding child.

The combination of a breast pump shield, with its ring, applied to the flange lower end of the shield, and the ring being C shaped in cross-section, having an upper flange, a lower flange, both integrally structured with a base wall. The physiological stimulator integrally formed with the lower flange of the sealing ring extends inwardly and upwardly within the shield, and therein functions as a means to place pressure upon the breast of the mother to help induce and stimulate the flow of breast milk during usage of the associated breast pump.

Systems and methods for pumping milk from a breast, wherein the milk is expressed from the breast under suction and milk is expulsed from the pumping mechanism to a collection container under positive pressure.

The breastfeeding device comprises a suction assembly that attaches to one of the mother's breasts, a pump assembly that provides suction to express milk from the mother's breast and collect it in a reservoir, a pacifier that allow a baby to feed on collected breast milk, and interconnecting flexible tubing. In some embodiments, the breastfeeding device may also comprise a breastfeeding garment which may allow the mother to use the suction assembly while wearing clothing and which may help to hold the suction assembly in place. A shutoff valve on the outlet of the pump assembly may allow the pacifier and associated tubing to be disconnected without loss of breast milk when the baby is not feeding.

Apparatus and methods for nipple and breast formation are described where devices precondition or expand a target nipple tissue to reduce the pressure exerted by the skin on an eventual implant. Generally, the apparatus comprises a mold having a contact surface which is cured in conformance with a breast upon which the mold is positionable, the contact surface having an adhesive for securement upon the breast, and the mold defining a cavity along the contact surface which conforms to a size of a nipple to be formed upon the breast and where the cavity further comprises the adhesive for securement to the nipple. A breast enlargement device comprises a cup larger than the target breast and further defines an inner surface which adheres to the breast when contacted.
