Our Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) is a comprehensive breastfeeding simulator that can teach parents and health providers how to identify, prevent, or manage over 25 common breast and breastfeeding-related prenatal and postpartum concerns.
Our LSM can be used by:

- A standardized patient for medical/nursing student exams
- A lactation consultant during a postpartum visit
- A hospital for Baby-Friendly training requirements
The LiquidGoldConcept Lactation Simulation Model is currently in use at hospitals, nursing schools, WIC clinics, and community centers around the world.
All LSMs are hand-made and hand-painted in Ann Arbor, MI. Expect 4-6 weeks for delivery.Sign up to receive Lactation Simulation Model updates
