Breastfeeding & Pumping

When your LO is out and you start breastfeeding, do you also have to pump? or just latch on demand no pumping.

Pumping is needed if you need to build up a stash of BM, for example, if you're heading back to work and want your baby to get breastmilk. But otherwise, pumping is not needed and nursing on demand will ensure you maintain a good supply.

Thanks a lot. I am not planning to go to work till my LO is 1 year old. So hopefully I can breastfeed :)
