What Is A Breast Pump?
A breast pump is a mechanical device that helps to extract milk from the breast of a breastfeeding mother. All breast pumps in the mother and baby care product stores consist of a few basic parts which are known as breast shield, pump and milk container. Breast shield is a cup with a cone shape that fits over the nipple and surrounding area (the areola). Meanwhile, the pump provides a gentle vacuum that helps to lactate milk from the breast. The pump may be attached to the breast-shield or have a plastic tube to connect the pump to the breast shield. The last part is a milk container. Milk container is a detachable container that is placed below the breast-shield and collects milk as it is pumped. The usual milk container that is used together is either a reusable bottle or disposable bag that can be utilize to store the milk or be attached to a nipple and used for feeding a baby.
Types of Breast Pumps
According to US Food and Drug Administration, there are three general types of breast pumps – the manual breast pumps, the battery-powered pumps, and electric pumps.
(i) Manual Breast Pump
If you use a manual breast pump to lactate the milk from the breast, you need to squeeze a handle or lever to create suction and express milk after placing the breast-shield over the nipple and areola. Then, the breast milk is collected in an attached container.
(ii) Battery-Powered Pump And Electric Pump
Battery-powered pumps and electric pumps share similarities. People who use the battery-powered pumps and electric pumps will not lactate the breastmilk by a manual squeezing. The process of lactating breastmilk become more easier than the manual breast pumps, however these two types of breast pumps need batteries and a cord plugged into an electrical outlet to power a small motorized pump that creates suction to express milk from the breast.
