Electric or battery operated breast pumps help extract milk easily without using manual power. These are the best
choice for working women, or for mothers with twins or multiple babies, as milk can be extracted quickly using these
pumps without causing any discomfort to your hands.

Working Mechanism of an Electric Breast Pump
Electric breast milk pumps have a mechanism similar to the one that is used by babies to suckle milk from their
mother’s breast. These pumps work on a two-stage technology.
The first step mimics rapid suckling by the baby which creates a vacuum and stimulates the breasts to start
the milk flow.
The second step is a slower one, in which the sucking pattern is regularized, and milk is extracted from the
breast.
Wash your hands.
Find some privacy and make yourself comfortable.
Place the breast shield over your breasts in such a way that the nipple is in the center of the breast shield.
Now, switch on the machine. It will stimulate your breasts to start the flow of milk.
Control the pressure with the help of the speed knobs and set the machine to a level that is most
comfortable for you.
Remove the tubes from the shield, once you are done with expressing the milk.
Clean and sterilize the machine for next use.
