1. A pumping top comprising:
a left panel and a right panel, each of the left panel and the right panel being configured to cover a corresponding portion of a side of a wearer's torso and cover and support a corresponding breast of the wearer;
wherein each of the left panel and the right panel comprises: (i) a non-expandable reservoir that is configured to contact the corresponding breast of the wearer over substantially 360 degrees adjacent a nipple, the non-expandable reservoir further comprising an aperture which is adapted to facilitate access to the nipple for an external breast pump that is separate and distinct from the pumping top, (ii) an expandable bladder that is separate and distinct from the non-expandable reservoir, configured to be disposed more distally from the nipple than the non-expandable reservoir, fluidly coupled to the non-expandable reservoir and configured to contact and partially surround a corresponding breast of the wearer, and (iii) a line fluidly coupled at one end to one of the expandable bladder or the non-expandable reservoir and at an opposite end to a connector;
wherein the connector is configured to couple to a pump that is separate and distinct from the pumping top, which pump alternately pumps warmed liquid into the line and evacuates the liquid from the line.
