nfant® Thrive Feeding System

The first Connected Feeding™ platform that delivers real-time, objective insight into infant feeding, the nfant® Thrive Feeding System supports parents, empowers providers, and improves outcomes from hospital to home.

nfant Thrive combines innovative biofeedback technology with trusted clinical expertise to help professionals predict, prevent, and overcome feeding challenges. Designed for newborns in all care settings, nfant offers the first comprehensive solution that measures feeding skill development, tongue movement, feeding coordination, and breastmilk flow and volume, providing clarity where guesswork once dominated.  

Unlike traditional approaches that rely solely on visual assessment, nfant Thrive incorporates real-time objective data to inform clinical decision-making and help parents better understand their baby’s feeding needs. Whether used at the breast or with a bottle, nfant equips caregivers with actionable metrics that support behavioral cues, anchor lactation recommendations, and improve feeding outcomes across a baby’s earliest months. With consistent flow-controlled nipples, a first-of-its-kind breastfeeding wearable, and an intuitive app to view data and track progress, nfant streamlines care and enhances confidence for both families and professionals.

Included in the nfant® Thrive Feeding System:

nfant® Thrive Breast

A first-of-its-kind wearable that non-invasively measures milk flow at the breast,encouraging breastfeeding confidence, supporting continuation, and grounding lactation support in measurable data.  

nfant® Thrive Bottle

FDA-cleared to measure tongue movement during nutritive and non-nutritive sucking, providing precise insight into oral skill development, strength, and coordination. Paired with nfant Control Flow Nipples, it guarantees consistent and reliable flow rates for breast milk, formula, and thickeners.

nfant® Control Flow Nipples

nfant’s Control Flow Nipples are engineered to provide consistent, developmentally appropriate flow rates, ensuring infants receive the right support at the right time. Their reliability is backed by clinical research: in a matched case series of NICU infants born under 30 weeks GA, the use of Control Flow Nipples contributed to an 8-day reduction in feeding-related NICU stay, with NO readmissions for failure to thrive, G-tube placements, modified barium swallow studies, or referrals to outpatient feeding services.

Key Features:

• Built for providers and families: nfant Thrive is designed to support clinicians, lactation consultants, therapists, and parents through objective insights that supplement clinical expertise. Its biofeedback-driven platform elevates assessment quality and reduces uncertainty.  
• Objective data for better outcomes: With real-time measurement of tongue movement, suck strength, coordination, and milk flow, the system helps predict and prevent feeding aversion, reduce complications, and ease parental concerns—leading to more confident, efficient feeding sessions.
• Streamlined, Connected Feeding™ workflow: nfant complements existing clinical protocols, offering a consistent, evidence-based approach across hospital and home settings. Providers can evaluate interventions in real time, track progress longitudinally, and deliver clearer guidance to families.
