An instrument for taking milk from a breast.
A device used to draw, or express, milk out of the breasts, as when a breastfeeding mother is going to be away from her baby for a few hours and wants to store some milk for the baby to have while she is away or on return. The breast pump may also be used to relieve pressure when the breasts are too full. The device is simple: a rubber suction cup is placed over the nipple and an attached rubber bulb, which is pumped (by hand or electricity) to draw out milk to go into the connected glass or plastic bottle. Women who use breast pumps should be sure that all parts are carefully sterilized before use.
