Do you have to pump when exclusively breastfeeding? Every video etc I see they always pump aswell… my lo is 2 weeks and we only EBF. Is this okay? Sorry if it’s a stupid question… I don’t want my milk supply to go down because I’m not doing it right?

You don’t have to pump unless you want to. Pumping is for when you want a stash or have to go back to work or simply just do both. I do both when it’s convenient for me

Nope you can just EBF. I didnt pump until 5/6 months when someone would look after for a few hours

I agree. It's not necessary if you feed on demand. I guess if you think you're not producing enough, you could pump after baby's done eating, but you can always feed more frequently too 🤷
