Abstract:
A breast shield unit of a breast pump for expressing human breastmilk includes a breast shield (1) to be placed onto a mother's breast, a breastmilk collection container (5) for receiving expressed breastmilk, an adapter (2) for connecting the breast shield (1) to the breastmilk collection container (5) and a valve head (4). A breastmilk channel extends from the breast shield (1) into the breastmilk collection container (5) through the adapter (2) and the valve head (4). The valve head (4) includes a valve (40) which closes and opens the breastmilk channel during the pumping action, wherein a fill level sensor (6) for measuring a fill level of the breastmilk collection container (5) is arranged in the valve head (4).
