 EBF: If you know you are going to miss a feeding... 
do you always pump?
  I have a baby shower today and I don't know if I should bring my pump.

 Re: EBF: If you know you are going to miss a feeding... 
it depends how old your baby is... If I miss a feeding now (4 months old) it doesn't bother me...

For me I would have to pump, otherwise I become engorged.

I always pumped.  Both because I wanted to keep my supply stable, AND I'd become engorged otherwise.

How old is your baby?  In the beginning, don't miss a feed, keep your milk supply going.

Do you have a hand pump?  I would bring it.  You will probably have a better time not worrying about it.

 Re: EBF: If you know you are going to miss a feeding... 
I would only bring the pump for your own comfort.  If your supply is well established, your milk doesn't know you are going to miss a feeding!  It will become VERY painful!
