A breast pump is a mechanical device used to extract milk from a lactating breast, allowing it to be stored and fed to a baby later, which is useful for returning to work or when separated from the infant. They create suction and release to mimic a baby’s feeding, coming in manual (hand-pumped) or electric (battery/AC-powered) types, and help maintain milk supply, relieve engorgement, and can assist with latch issues.
How it works
-
- A breast shield forms a seal around the nipple and areola.
- Suction (negative pressure) pulls the nipple into the shield.
- A breast shield forms a seal around the nipple and areola.
- The pump then releases the suction, mimicking the baby’s feeding action to express milk.
Types of pumps
- Manual: Hand-operated, portable, and generally slower.
- Electric/Battery: Use a motor for suction; some are double pumps (pumping both breasts at once) for efficiency.
- Hospital-Grade: More powerful, for frequent or prolonged use, often with a barrier.
Common uses
- Maintain supply: Pumping regularly tells the body to keep making milk.
- Provide milk: Allows others to feed the baby expressed milk.
- Relieve discomfort: Eases engorged breasts or clears plugged ducts.
- Help with latch: Can draw out flat or inverted nipples.
