Well, some women do, but many women are unable to. I discovered this little factoid myself when I tried to go that route. It depends on what the woman's milk flow is like. Personally, I was unable to use a pump without pretty intense pain and eventually making my nipples bleed (and yes, I was using it correctly). Also, it tends to decrease a woman's milk supply over time, since a nursing infant is far more efficient at bringing the milk than a breast pump.
