A breast pump is disclosed having a hood with breast massage. In one embodiment, a frame supports the hood, substantially preventing contraction of the hood along its longitudinal axis, while permitting a thin-walled portion to contract along its diameter. Under action of a suction pump, the flexible thinwalled portion gently ma sages the areola. Another embodiment has a flexible sleeve within which the nipple is received. An exterior frame again provides support for the hood, allowing the sleeve to radially contract under suction to gently massage the nipple. The frame prevents the longitudinal contraction of the sleeve that could pinch the nipple and breast. |
