FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: breast-milking device is configured to produce at least two portions of breast milk as a direct result of a single expression session, subject to at least one user's mammary gland. Portions are different in terms of the value of at least one quality parameter of breast milk, and said portions are obtained in different positions. Device comprises a detection unit for real-time detection of at least one qualitative parameter in a breast milk stream, which is expressed from at least one breast of a user during a decoy session, and outputting a detection signal representative of the actual value of said at least one qualitative parameter.
