An apparatus comprising a support having an outer surface and an inner surface that is shaped to conform substantially to a human female breast and having a protrusion with a substantially flat, nipple-contacting surface which extends away from the support and is positioned to align substantially with and contact a nipple of a human female breast prevents a human female breast from lactating when placed over the breast. The present invention also provides a method for controlling human lactation which utilizes the present apparatus and includes the steps of placing and positioning the apparatus over the breast and applying pressure on the apparatus sufficient to prevent lactation.
