The benefits and drawbacks of using a breast pump to pump milk

The advantage of using a breast pump to pump milk is that it can free up hands and reduce the risk of developing mastitis during lactation. The disadvantage is that improper operation may damage the mammary ducts.

1. Benefits: If there is a lot of milk in the breast, it may lead to milk accumulation. You can use a breast pump to suck out the milk from the breast, which helps promote breast emptying. It does not require manual operation, can free up hands, and can also help reduce the occurrence of mastitis during lactation.

2. Disadvantage: Although the breast pump is relatively simple and convenient to operate, it needs to be disinfected after use. If local hygiene is not taken into account, it may cause damage to the breast ducts and lead to infection.
