Why use a breast pump?

There comes a time when many moms decide they need to pump milk so they have it on hand (for babysitters, partners, or helpful grandparents who want to help you refresh by giving you a night out or a full night of sleep). And there are times you may want to pump and dump if you consume spicy foods or a glass of wine. If you're only pumping occasionally, a hand pump will do. If you're going to be pumping on a regular basis, it's worthwhile to rent a powerful hospital-grade pump to speed up the process.
