breast pumps
Milk expression machines
Breast pumps are devices that extract milk from a nursing mother's breasts for later feeding.
They range from simple manual squeezers to electric models.
Pumping allows mothers to store milk, maintain supply while away from their babies, or relieve engorgement: She pumps at work and stores the milk in the office fridge.
