ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring a volume of milk during breast feeding utilizes an elastic nipple shaped cover applied over a nipple area of a woman's breast with holes in the cover positioned above the nipple area for passage of milk to the baby's mouth. A micro measurement volume sensor is located in a space between the nipple and the elastic cover holes to measure the volume of milk flowing therethrough. Data from the micro measurement volume sensor is converted into a calibrated volumetric equivalent corresponding to milk volume data indicative of the milk volume. This milk volume data may be displayed in real time on a display monitor.
