FTM here.

I just brought my 2 day old home today and have been breastfeeding. After talking to the lactation consultant at the hospital, she mentioned that I would want to exclusively breastfeed before pumping and using bottles because of the risk of baby not latching like he is now.

I instantly knew I wanted to ask around and research up on other moms experiences. My main concern of wanting to pump and nurse at the same time was for my own sleep needs. Dad could help at nights by making bottles instead of me waking up every night every 3 hours to feed.

Any pointers or recommendations?
