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. 
  • 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.
