Abstract:

A nursing bra comprised of two cups with an outer pocket/flap in each cup for holding a thin circular heating/cooling device in place. This pocket is a full piece of fabric with an opening at the upper center portion of the garment that holds the heating/cooling device in place. The heating/cooling device provides relief from engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis and other general nursing pain. There is also a rear panel comprised of two cups with openings in each cup for nursing a baby. The front and rear panel coexist, forming a supportive and comfortable bra. The removable front, outer panel is connected to the rear panel at the base, which allows for the upper portion of the front panel to be lowered allowing the nipple, and surrounding area of the woman's breast to be exposed for nursing.
