do i need a breast pump?

[CinderToriella]

This may be a silly question but do i really need a breast pump?

i honestly dont think i will be away from bubs for the amount of months i plan on feeding her. but should i get one anyway?

I just dont want to spend the money on it if i wont get any good use out of it

Nah...i wouldnt. Ive breastfed all 4 of mine and didnt end up buying one. Wherever i was, bub was, so didnt see the need in getting one. Maybe wait until baby is a few weeks old....

I wouldn't worry about it. If you do need one later you can get it then. Lot of people who buy pumps "just in case" end up never using them!

I never used a breast pump for DD. If I ever needed to I just hand expressed enough milk for a feed if I was going to be away from her. It might have taken me a couple of attempts but I never felt the need to go to the expense of buying one.

Just wait till you need one I reccon.

Unless you see one for a super bargain sale price then nab it

I bought one whilst pregnant and its still sitting in the cupboard - I used it twice - it was a waste of money!
