A. No. Breast pumps are needed when the baby is unable to nurse well or you are unable to nurse the baby in the first days after delivery. Pumps and pump kits are provided while you are an inpatient, if there is a medical need to do so. If you need a pump after discharge, we can rent a pump to you before you leave the hospital. We encourage mothers to wait and see what their needs might be before buying a pump. Your Mother/Baby nurse will provide a manual breast pump to each nursing mother at discharge.
