Struggling with the thought of exclusively pumping

Me

Hi ladies. I have to go back to work March 5th and need to start building up supply for daycare. I haven’t been because I hate pumping because it takes time away from my baby. I also hate not feeding him.

I’m struggling with the idea that I need to pump because it makes me sad that I won’t be feeding him from breast anymore.

How often do you all pump and how did you feel/cope?
