ABSTRACT:
A nursing brassiere having two identical cups into which a user's natural breast nipples are removably inserted, each cup having a centered aperture removably engaging an artificial nipple having a flow meter assembly therein. The flow meter assembly provides a pegged wheel with pegs extending from the perimeter and a counter. Each time an infant consumes milk through an artificial nipple, the milk flow contact with the pegs turns the wheel which activates the counter to count the number of wheel turns. The counter operationally wirelessly communicates with a remote central processing unit which stores the number of wheel turns for each breastfeeding session and determines and displays the volume of milk. A reset button restarts the count of the number of wheel turns.
