This is a device that sucks out milk out of a nursing mother body in order to make highly nutritional breast milk available for the baby whenever the need arises. Mothers' breast milk are the most highly accepted form of food for a new born baby compare to the general baby formula food. Hence every mother working or wish to have some kind of break from the baby may consider take buying a breast pump machine into consideration.
This device also makes the family love become stronger, because it allows members of the family to feed the new born baby. The device do not only extract milk from the mother but also the save the woman from engorgement. Engorgement is the condition in which the nursing mother experiences whenever the breast is overfilled and causes pain on her, but with the aid of this device, she will escape this painful experience. Engorgement can make sucking uncomfortable for the baby because of the overfilled nursing mother's breast.
This wonderful device has been designed to imitate the way a baby suck, making the extraction of milk easy.

The container built with this pump is easily converted to a bottle, which makes feeding the baby more convenient for any member of the family and at the same time giving the baby the same nutritional content.
The breast pump is of three major types, (i. E.) the manual pump, electric pump and the manual-electric type. The manual pump is been operated by repeatedly squeezing the handle to cause some kind of force which makes milk extraction possible. The electric pump automatically causes the force while the woman only needs to guide it. While that of the manual-electric does the two jobs. I. E. Can be used manually and electrically at any point in time.
