Why did you start exclusively pumping?

I started pumping when my son was a week old and his weight dropped back down since he wasn’t latching properly. I was heartbroken and cried for a few days, felt like an awful mother. I had a lactation consultant come to my house and help, but in the end, I found that my son liked his bottle, I knew how much he was getting, and I could work while feeding him. I didn’t really listen to a bunch of people who told me that my supply would drop if I pumped every 5-6 hours, and honestly, I’m glad I didn’t since my son is now 4 months old and I’m still pumping, with 1000+ ounces in the freezer! So what made you ladies start pumping?
