A breast pump is a device used by nursing mothers to extract milk from their breasts. It can be manual or electric, allowing mothers to store milk for later use or to relieve discomfort caused by engorgement. Breast pumps are especially helpful for mothers who return to work or need to be away from their babies. Using a breast pump can help maintain milk supply and provide flexibility in feeding. The collected milk can be stored in bottles or bags and kept in the refrigerator or freezer. Many mothers find that using a breast pump supports their breastfeeding journey while balancing other responsibilities.
