A breast pump includes a main body and a handle. The main body includes an internal passage, a negative pressure generation mechanism configured to generate negative pressure in the internal passage for pumping milk, a hood attaching portion to which a hood fitted to a breast is attached, the hood attaching portion being disposed at a front part of the main body, and a bottle attaching portion to which a bottle for collecting milk is attached, the bottle attaching portion being disposed at a lower part of the main body. The handle is pivotal to the main body and includes a basal end, at a side located closer to a pivot point on the main body, connected to the negative pressure generation mechanism. The handle includes a finger rest at a distal side and extends forward from the pivot point beside the main body.

The present disclosure describes a breast milk and food storage solution that simplifies and reduces the number of items needed to pump, store and/or feed breastmilk to a baby.

A breast pump milk flow sensor system and apparatus for accurately assessing both a flow rate and amount of milk expressed during a pumping session is provided. The breast pump milk flow rate sensor system and apparatus may be contained within a breast pump.

Disclosed herein are various techniques and devices for detecting a level of fluid within a fluid collection receptacle. These techniques and devices may further determine a flow rate of fluid entering the fluid collection receptacle or a volume of fluid collected within the fluid collection receptacle. Sensors, including pressure sensors, may be installed in, on, or within the fluid collection receptacle to detect information about the liquid within the receptacle including fluid level, flow rate, and volume.

The present invention relates to a system, method and corresponding computer program for milk ejection reflex (MER) determination, the system comprising a breast shield arrangement (1) for a breast pump (2) configured to be attached on a first breast of a female, a physiological sensor unit (4) for receiving a physiological reception signal from the second breast, which is opposite to the first breast, wherein the physiological reception signal is indicative of fluid contents in the second breast, and wherein the system is configured to determine a milk ejection reflex based on a change in fluid contents in the second breast. It finds particular application during and in connection with breastfeeding and allows for direct detection of the beginning of the milk flow in the breast, i.e. the occurrence of the MER, without delay and with a high degree of precision.

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. In one approach, the breast pump assembly includes a breast adapter and a receptacle configured to cup the breast adapter, and the breast adapter is removable from the receptacle.

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 assembly.

An apparatus for accumulating a fluid, the apparatus including a drain bottle for containing the fluid, a reservoir having an outlet towards the drain bottle, the reservoir and the drain bottle communicating with each other via a valve provided in the outlet, a suction aperture connectable with a suction pump for creating a vacuum in the reservoir, an optical sensing device operably coupled to the reservoir and adjusted to measure the volume of the fluid standing in the reservoir, the optical sensing device comprising a light source and a detector, wherein the light source is configured to emit light towards the reservoir and the detector is configured to detect an intensity of the light emanating from the reservoir, and at least one light directing means for directing the light on its path from the light source to the detector.

The present disclosure provides a portable breast pump. The existing technical problems are solved. The portable breast pump includes a pump seat; the pump seat is hollowed, and a milk collection cavity is formed in the middle; a liquid inlet hole communicated with the milk collection cavity is formed in one side of the pump seat in a vertical direction; and a bottom side of the pump seat is provided with a planar bottom surface for placement or a bottom surface for placement sunken towards the milk collection cavity. The present disclosure has the advantages of convenience in carrying and placement, and the like.

A pumpless silent negative pressure system comprises: a horn cover, a cylinder is provided to its lower end; a software arranged inside the horn cover, the rear end of the software is provided with one or more coils. The software's center is provided with a cavity for generating negative pressure, the front end of the software is provided with an opening for adhering to the object to be sucked, the rear end of the software is extended with a cavity inside the cavity and having a return stress rebound and a single or a single or a plurality of elastic inner concave parts of a plurality of negative pressure chambers, the front end surface of the elastic inner concave part forms a negative pressure chamber film and a stroking type promoting milk film, and the end of the elastic inner concave part is provided with a magnet.
