How long will i need to use a breast pump? how many months am i going to need to be hooking myself up to a breast pump after i give birth?

Why use one ?: Simply letting the baby be your breast pump is one way to avoid it's use.They are mush better at emptying you than the pump & preparation for use is a lot less burdensome.If you want one around for any reason, use it as long as you wish.

Depends: On how long you plan to nurse and how often you will need to be away from the baby. Make sure you talk to a lactation consultant and other moms who have nursed to get lots of advice. The best part about pumping (besides knowing your baby is getting great nutrition when you are not there) is being able to nurse and not dealing with bottles when you are home with him or her.
