Electric breast pump

A breast pump allows you to pump breast milk while you're away from your baby — or between breast-feeding sessions. Electric breast pumps are a common choice for breast-feeding mothers who work full time. A double-breast electric pump, like the one shown here, helps stimulate milk production while reducing pumping time in half.
