I'm planning and praying that I'll be able to breastfeed my daughter. I went to go buy a breastpump today, and my mother and aunt were with me. We were looking at all the different types and then my mother says, "Why do you even need a breastpump? You only need one if you're going to be away from her a lot." I think her point is - hopefully, I can breastfeed, but if I can't, why spend the money on the pump? If it ends up I can breastfeed, I can always buy the pump before my maternity leave ends. Well, I told her that I was under the impression that all women who breastfeed need a pump to relieve the fullness of their breasts, but then her and my aunt both said that the more milk you pump (or baby eats) the more milk your body will produce, so it's better to just let your body get used to how much you need. Is this true? Do I need to get one right now regardless or should I wait until I know if I'll be able to breastfeed? I would appreciated any info on this!!! What kind do y'all have t
