Whether or not you need a breast pump depends on your individual circumstances and goals for breastfeeding. Here are some common reasons why someone might consider using a breast pump:
To increase milk supply: If you are struggling to produce enough milk for your baby, using a breast pump can help stimulate milk production by emptying the breasts more frequently.
To relieve engorgement: If your breasts become too full and uncomfortable, a breast pump can help to empty them and relieve discomfort.
To build a freezer stash: If you plan to return to work or need to be away from your baby for an extended period, pumping and storing breast milk can ensure that your baby has access to breast milk when you're not there.
To allow someone else to feed your baby: If you want your partner or another caregiver to be able to feed your baby, using a breast pump to express milk can provide them with the milk they need.
To maintain your milk supply: If you need to be away from your baby for a short period or your baby is not nursing well, pumping can help to maintain your milk supply until you can resume nursing.
If any of these reasons apply to you or if you have other reasons for wanting to use a breast pump, it may be a helpful tool for you. However, if you do not anticipate needing to pump for any of these reasons, you may not need to invest in a breast pump.
