Breast pump good or bad?

2. Is it good to pump occasionally or especially at night times for feeding the baby.
3. Is it safe and okay to use it or just stick to breastfeeding all day and night.
4. Does it help for production of more milk.

Breast pump is effective in relieving the breast engorgement if you can't feed the baby properly.
But your first choice should be feeding the baby. And you should learn the proper technique from some senior Nurses in the hospital.

Breast pumping machines do not enhance milk production
Use of a breast pump is not recommended if you r able to latch the baby and breastfeed on your own
