Abstract

An apparatus and method for delivery of expressed breast milk to be ingested by a newborn. This is achieved by placing the fully assembled apparatus around the caregiver's neck which allows the apparatus to hang at the chest area of the caregiver and provides the newborn with direct access to the expressed milk through the apparatus. This apparatus replicates the breastfeeding and bonding process between the newborn and the caregiver, be it male or female. This is achieved by adding expressed breast milk into a conical, recycled glass container; attaching the nipple and nipple cap assembly; placing the recycled rubber cover over the glass container holding it in place with the two recycled rubber tabs at the bottom of the recycled rubber cover and delivering the expressed milk to the infant in any upright breastfeeding position.
