Good on you for asking the questions LMS!

The ABA offer Breastfeeding Education Classes - the info will be on their website but I can't seem to load it at the moment. They are a great way to get some breastfeeding info before your bub arrives.

Regarding the pump - honestly, I would leave it for now. Don't anticipate problems before they arrive! Work really hard on attaching correctly and establishing good breastfeeding before introducing a pump.

Unless you need to pump because you are having problems, at which point you could hire one to get you going and then think about buying your own down the track.

And if you go to a BEC, you will become a member of the ABA as part of the BEC cost, so you can hire a pump for a much-reduced cost
