Lactessa Breastfeeding Model

Designed specifically for lactation education, Lactessa is the perfect teaching model to help women learn to breastfeed. Lactessa’s head and soft body are weighted to make her feel like a newborn, and her movable and flexible arms, legs, and head allow realistic demonstration and practice of breastfeeding positions. With a cupped tongue, Latessa’s open, three-dimensional mouth is deep enough to insert a finger to teach suck training with accuracy and feel the hard palate. Lactessa comes with a cloth diaper and is ideal for classroom demonstrations or one-on-one instruction. Approx. 5 lb, 20″ long.
