Question

What is the proper method for expressing milk on Shabbat?

Answer

In principle, expressing milk for an infant whose main food is mother's milk is considered a matter of life and death; therefore, expressing milk is permitted even with a manual pump. However, the proper method is to use an electric pump operated by a Shabbat timer, and it is preferable to connect it before it turns on.
