Disclosed herein is a breast pump sensor network. The breast pump sensor network includes an emitter disposed within a bodily fluid capture system and a detector disposed within the bodily fluid capture system. Further disclosed is a method for controlling the breast pump sensor network which includes emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation within a bodily fluid capture system, detecting one or more drops of body fluid within the bodily fluid capture system, determining a bodily fluid flow rate based at least on the detected one or more drops of bodily fluid, and providing the determined bodily fluid flow rate to at least one user.

A breast pump assembly is disclosed. The breast pump assembly according to an aspect of the present disclosure may include: a breast pump including a contact housing with a backside recessed to wrap a breast and a storage housing coupled to the contact housing to define a breast milk storage space on a frontside of the contact housing, the breast pump being provided with a coupling cavity penetrating an upper portion of the storage housing; a stopper detachably coupled to the coupling cavity and provided with a first air pipe connector; an air pipe coupled to the first air pipe connector; and a pump cradle provided with a second air pipe connector to which the air pipe is coupled, wherein the pump cradle includes: a first case provided with the second air pipe connector, an insertion hole and an air passage connector; a first milking pump installed in the first case; a duct connecting the first milking pump and the air passage connector to the second air pipe connector; and a pump module including a second case detachably coupled to the insertion hole and a second milking pump installed in the second case, wherein the second case is provided with an air passage connecting the air passage connector with the second milking pump, and wherein the pump module is separated from the insertion hole and detachably coupled to the coupling cavity from which the stopper is separated.

The portable infant bottle filler and warmer machine may make it much easier to prepare bottles of formula or breast milk when feeding babies. It may be used at home, in a hospital, and while traveling. The machine mixes the appropriate amount of formula and water based on the ounces needed for the baby, and once mixed, warms the liquid to the appropriate temperature for feeding. The machine may also be used to pump and manage breast milk production. Pumped breast milk is kept cool until ready for use, and is then warmed to the necessary temperature. Other items such as wipes may be warmed within the machine as well for the comfort of the baby.

A breast milk pump includes a breast interface member which has an inner cavity through which milk can flow, and a negative pressure assembly in fluid communication with one side of a diaphragm. An opposite side of the diaphragm is in fluid communication with the inner cavity. The diaphragm separates the inner cavity from the negative pressure assembly. A suckling assembly includes a tongue member and an actuator coupled to the tongue member for causing movement of the tongue member. A tongue position adjustment assembly is coupled to the suckling assembly and operative to cause displacement of the suckling assembly with respect to an inner surface of the inner cavity.

The present disclosure is directed to an improved electric breast pump performance by providing independent adjustment of pumping parameters, such as vacuum and cycle, among others, for each breast when double pumping. The electric breast pump provides the capability to independently select discrete values for each breast so that a separate setting can be set for vacuum and/or cycles or both and can be selected for each breast. These separate settings can be varied and adjusted independently. The improved breast pump can be operated to pump individual breasts, or both breasts simultaneously according to the setting. The improved breast pump utilizes data and information received from previous breast pump sessions to determine and provide improved and optimal settings for future sessions, thereby creating a more efficient breast pump system.

A device having a flow channel for a fluid has a nonreturn valve arranged in the flow channel, the nonreturn valve allowing the fluid to flow through the flow channel in a first direction and preventing it from flowing through the flow channel in a direction counter to the first direction. The device furthermore has a flow detector for detecting the flow of the fluid through the flow channel, wherein the flow detector detects a change in the nonreturn valve. This detected change serves as an indicator for the flow of the fluid. The device enables simplified flow detection, in that a nonreturn valve that is present is used as an indicator.
