ABSTRACT:
A compact preferably disposable device is disclosed for providing a suckling infant with a liquid diet supplement simultaneously with normal breastfeeding. The device includes a container for holding the supplement and a fluid delivery mechanism adapted to fit onto the container. The fluid delivery mechanism comprises a flexible teat, an elongated flexible tube and a valve mechanism. The flexible tube extends into the teat and is in fluid communication with the interior of the teat, with the other end of the tube sized to fit into the infant's mouth simultaneously while breastfeeding. A tubing clamp carried by the tubing having a notch into which the tubing can be wedged to pinch it closed is also advantageously provided.
