Synchronizing breast pumping with infant feeding

A system for synchronizing one or more breast-pumping sessions of an individual (such as a mother) and milk consumption by a second individual (such as a baby or infant) is described. In particular, based on measurements of a volume of the collected milk as a function of time and received information specifying milk consumption by the second individual as a function of time, a control circuit maydetermine a need for milk. Then, the control circuit may provide feedback based on the determined need for milk that synchronizes the one or more breast-pumping sessions and the milk consumption. Forexample, the feedback may alert the individual to initiate a breast-pumping session and/or may provide a signal to a breast pump that initiates a breast-pumping session. 描述了用于将个体(例如母亲)的一个或多个吸乳阶段与第二个体(例如婴儿或幼儿)的乳汁消耗进行同步的系统。所述系统包括吸乳泵、乳汁消耗传感器和控制器。特别地，所述系统基于对作为时间的函数的所收集乳汁的体积测量和所接收到的指出作为时间的函数的第二个体的乳汁消耗的信息，控制电路可以确定对乳汁的需求。于是，控制电路可以基于所确定的对乳汁的需求来提供反馈，该反馈使一个或多个吸乳阶段与乳汁消耗同步。例如，所述反馈可以提示个体启动吸乳阶段和/或可以向吸乳泵提供启动吸乳阶段的信号。
