What she said but you can bring your own

You can bring your own if you have any questions or concerns about your pump. You 9/10 won’t have to pump in the hospital.

Of courseeee so your milk supply usually takes up to 5 days to fully come in. Pumping also isn’t recommended for the first few days after birth until your milk regulates! Pumping too early doesn’t establish a “good milk supply”, It creates an over supply causing lots of new moms to constantly be encouraged causing things like mastitis and making nursing extremely painful. Most lactation consultants recommend using the haakaa or a gentle hand pump after giving birth! ofc you can bring it if you have any concerns like I said above but you’re not going to need it :)
