Big baby

I've been following this story in the news:

BABY ELEPHANT'S HEALTH IMPROVES AFTER TRANSFUSION
A baby elephant that received a blood transfusion after being spurned by
its mother seems to be on the mend, Calgary zoo officials say.
FULL STORY:

My question is, if the baby needs the mother's milk, why don't they use a really big "breast pump" on the mom, and use that to feed the baby? That might also help the mother realize what it is she's supposed to be doing.

Of course, I have absolutely no knowledge in this area, so I'm a great one to criticize... ;)
