DEVICE FOR ASSISTING INFANT LATCH DURING AND AFTER BREASTFEEDING

摘要

A latch pick assembly providing a pick portion dimensioned and adapted to establish, adjust and break the latch of a breastfeeding infant is provided. The pick portion provides opposing front and rear surfaces that taper toward each other as they terminate at a distal forward edge. The forward edge provides a plurality of protrusions which share the longitudinal and transverse concavity of the front surface and corresponding longitudinal and transverse convexity of the rear surface. The forward edge enables the gentle urging of an infant's lips into positions for a proper latch, and the adjusting and breaking of the latch during breastfeeding.
