Provided are an electric breast pump and the like that make it possible to pump breast milk at a suction pressure suitable for a user such as a mother. The electric breast pump (1) is provided with a breast arrangement section (12) in which a breast region of a subject including a breast and a nipple is arranged and a suction pressure-generating section (10, 50) that generates suction pressure within the breast arrangement section. The electric breast pump (1) is characterized in that the suction pressure-generating section generates a suction cycle comprising a plurality of different suction pressures, the suction cycle includes basic suction and increased suction in which the suction pressure is increased, the amount by which the suction pressure is increased in the increased suction is a pressure difference corresponding to a threshold at which the user senses the change in suction pressure, the basic suction and the increased suction are each repeated at the same suction pressure in succession multiple times in the suction cycle, and at least the last instance of suction in the suction cycle is extended suction in which the suction time is longer than in the other instances of suction.L'invention concerne un tire-lait électrique et similaire qui permettent de pomper du lait maternel à une pression d'aspiration appropriée pour un utilisateur tel qu'une mère. Le tire-lait électrique (1) est pourvu d'une section d'agencement de sein (12) dans laquelle est disposée une région de sein d'un sujet comprenant un sein et un mamelon et d'une section de génération de pression d'aspiration (10, 50) qui génère une pression d'aspiration à l'intérieur de la section d'agencement de sein. Le tire-lait électrique (1) est caractérisé en ce que la section de génération de pression d'aspiration génère un cycle d'aspiration comprenant une pluralité de pressions d'aspiration différentes, le cycle d'aspiration comprend une aspiration de base et une aspiration accrue dans laquelle la pr
