Abstract:
1. A nursing bra for monitoring a child's milk intake during breast feeding procedures, said nursing bra comprising: a body adapted to be worn about a user breast; an electronic scale attached to said body for detecting a weight of the user breast; a pull-cord channeled through said body and selectively engaged with said electronic scale; said pull-cord comprises opposed proximal and distal ends protruding out from said body, said pull-cord being intercalated between inner and outer surfaces of said body and travels along a major arcuate path of said body defined between inner and outer edges of said body a controller communicatively coupled to said electronic scale for receiving the weight of the user breast; wherein said controller calculates the milk intake from the weight of the user breast before and after breast feeding procedures; wherein said body comprises a passageway directly abutted against said electronic scale and extending along said arcuate path, said pull-cord being housed within said passageway; wherein said pull-cord is selectively reciprocated between opposed first and second walls of said passageway when said pull-cord is selectively pulled and released between said tensioned and equilibrium positions, respectively; wherein when the body is in said tension position, said electronic scale engages said pull cord and allowing said scale to measure the weight of the user breast; and wherein when the body is in said equilibrium position, said electronic scale disengages said pull cord and is inoperative.
