breast pump

A breast pump is a mechanical device that extracts milk from the breasts of a lactating woman. It is commonly used by mothers who are unable to breastfeed directly due to work, medical conditions, or other reasons. Breast pumps can be manual, where the user controls the suction and rhythm, or electric, which automates the process. They are designed to mimic the natural sucking action of a baby to stimulate milk production and collect the milk in a storage container for later use.
