An electric breast pump is a device powered by electricity that uses suction to extract breast milk, typically with adjustable suction levels and different modes to mimic a baby's feeding pattern, allowing mothers to express milk from one or both breasts simultaneously, often used when needing to pump regularly due to work or other reasons; it usually comes with a motor that creates suction through tubing connected to a breast shield that fits over the nipple, and can be either a single or double pump depending on the design.
Key points about electric breast pumps:
Power source: Plugged into an electrical outlet
Functionality: Can express milk from one or both breasts at the same time
