The second side includes a concave surface defining a recess. The breast pump also includes a breast cup for engaging at least a portion of a breast including a nipple and an area surrounding the nipple. The breast cup is attached to the second side of the housing and positioned at least partly within the recess defined by the concave surface. The breast pump further includes a vacuum pump assembly, a container, a heater mounted to the housing, and a power source. The heater extends along the concave surface of the second side of the housing in thermal connection with the breast cup.
