Expressing breast milk by breast pumping occurs when a lactating mother using a manual or electric breast pump attached to her nipples, apply and release suction to her nipples allowing breast milk to flow steadily into an attached container, usually feeding bottles. The freshly pumped milk is then stored and preserved in the sealed container to later feed an infant. Nursing mothers often pump breast milk if they spend significant amount of hours away from their infants before returning to them.
