A breastpump assembly for either single or double breastpumping has first and second breastpump units. Each breastpump unit has a breast shield within which a breast is received, and at least one container for collecting breastmilk expressed into a respective breast shield. A pumping mechanism, such as one having a battery power source, generates a periodic reduced pressure within the breast shields, with the pumping unit being carried by the first breastpump unit. A mechanism is advantageously provided for alternating the periodic reduced pressure between the first and second breastpump units.
