A device and method are provided for supporting a breast shield of a breast pump upon a woman's breast in a "hands-free" manner. Such a breast shield support includes, for example, a base member (12), such as a garment, that is adapted to be carried on a woman's torso. Part of the breast pump, such as the breast shield (32), is releasably attached to the base member (12) and supports the breast shield (32) on the exposed breast. Embodiments include corresponding fasteners on the breast shield (32) and a brassiere, a harness-type strap arrangement for holding the shield against the breast, and a breast shield (32) which slips through a flap (628) formed in a brassiere cup, and is supported by the cup material. |
