When to buy breast pump?

Is it advisable to buy breast pump in advance (while you are still in second trimester)? I thought of using the year end promo sales to buy it. But one elder adviced against it saying it depends on how much milk I will be having. If too less then breast pump is not needed. How long will we be breastfeeding usually? Btw I'm not working currently. Will be getting back to work force after the baby is 5-6 months. So for SAHM is breast pump needed? Sorry if this sounds dumb. I'm a first trimer.

Depends on whether you want to fully breastfeed or not and also how long you want to breastfeed. I'm a sahm and did not even buy a breastpump. I'm 29 weeks pregnant. I intend to breastfeed my baby till 1-2 yrs old so I only bought a Haakaa which collects your letdowns then I'll store my milk and also bottlefeed. You can see their reviews in IG - haakaanz I ever bought a manual pump for my 3rd born but I end up not using it and just latch. But since you intend to go to work force again, no harm to buy 1 so you can pump out your milk at work too.

I will wait till I give birth then. Depending on how much milk I can latch I'll think about buying the pump. Thanks mommy for the advice 😊
