Abstract

An apparatus for simultaneously pumping milk from the right and left breast of a nursing mother comprising a nipple shield formed in a generally conical configuration with an exterior surface and an interior surface positionable over the nipple of a breast of a nursing mother. The shield has a centrally located aperture with a cylindrical coupling extension projecting from the exterior surface of the shield around the aperture. Further included is a pump. The pump has an input and an output. A flexible tube is provided and has an input end coupled to the conical extension of the shield and an output end coupled to the input of the pump. A housing is formed of a container with a separable cover. The container receives the pump and the end of the tube adjacent to its output end. A baby bottle is included and has an open top and positioned within the housing adjacent to the pair of pumps. A lid is removably positioned on the open top of the baby bottle with a large hole and a small hole for air exhaust. A supplemental tube couples the output of the pump to the large hole. A switch within the container is for activating the pump. A power source within the container with lines supplies power to the pump through the switch. Straps coupled to the container are positionable about the shoulders of the user to releasably secure the container to the back of the user.
