A breastpump assembly includes a hood member having a funnel-shaped shield portion
for placement over a breast and a sleeve portion extending from the funnel-shaped
portion. The breastpump assembly includes a substantially rigid plastic housing
connected to the extending portion of the breast hood. A pump is fixed or functionally
attached to the housing for applying a negative pressure to the housing. A container
is attached to the housing, the container being in fluid communication with the
breast hood to receive expressed breast milk. At least a portion of the breastpump
exterior surface includes a compliant portion.
