Hospital grade breast pumps function by creating a vacuum that draws out milk from the breast. They are designed to mimic the natural rhythm of a baby's sucking, which typically includes a rapid suckling phase to stimulate milk flow followed by a slower, deeper suckling phase. These pumps have adjustable suction levels and cycle speeds, allowing mothers to customize the settings to their comfort and needs. Most hospital grade pumps are double electric pumps, meaning they can express milk from both breasts simultaneously, which saves time and helps maintain milk supply.
