If you don't plan on working while breastfeeding, you don't NEED a pump. However, a good pump can help give you a break if and when you need one. It can also help relieve engorgement in the first few days. Buy a good double electric pump. Don't bother with a manual pump. You'll see the savings in the first three months by not buying formula.
