breast pump

A breast pump is a device that extracts milk from a lactating woman’s breasts, typically for later feeding or storage. It uses gentle suction to mimic a baby’s natural nursing action, collecting milk into a container. Breast pumps can be manual, operated by hand, or electric, providing a convenient way to express milk efficiently. They are useful for working mothers, relieving engorgement, or increasing milk supply. Proper use and cleaning are essential for safety and hygiene, ensuring the milk remains healthy for feeding.
