Abstract
In a pump for pumping mother's milk, at least one funnel-like breast body is connected to a vacuum conduit in order to pump mother's milk into a milk collection container. To this end, the pump comprises at least one suction chamber and a conduit system leading out from said suction chamber. The conduit system is to be connected with the vacuum conduit and the funnel-like breast body. While a pumping unit applies vacuum to the suction chamber, an interrupting device interrupts the vacuum applied to the suction chamber cyclically during a predetermined cycle period. There is a control device for controlling the cycle period.
