Abstract
A two-piece breast shield to be worn by a nursing woman is disclosed. A base, contoured to confront the wearer's breast, has an aperture through which the nipple can pass. A dome-shaped cover overlies the base, fitting onto it to define an interior milk-receiving chamber. A small vent hole near the edge of the cover is surrounded by an inwardly extending tube to prevent milk from flowing out through the hole when the woman wearing the breast shield bends over.
