Is pumping still considered breastfeeding ?

Question

Answer

To me, I consider breastfeeding actually putting baby to breast and them eating directly from the breast. Pumping doesn't make you any less of a mother though and it's a lot harder than just straight up breastfeeding!

Answer

Exclusive breast feeding is boob only. But as long as your baby is drinking breast milk, they're considered breast fed.

Answer

If it's breast milk you are breast feeding. It doesn't lose its power when pumped.

Answer

Breastfeeding=feeding directly from the breast/skin to skin feeding

Pumping=using a device to milk a breast.

They aren't the same method, thus the different words...

Answer

It's using the same liquid so...YEA

Answer

I'm going to be breast feeding while I'm home and pumping to store for the 12 hours I'm gone to work for three days on the weekends. As long as my babies getting my milk it doesn't matter to me really.

Answer

If you're feeding it to baby, yes

Answer

I exclusively pump and to me it's "breast" feeding because she gets my milk,duh. 
But I seriously hate it and wished my daughter didn't give me hell to latch,but I been doing it for 4 months and a half now,I always want to give up because it's so hard to pump all day and feed her,but then I look at her little face and I change my mind.

I read on google that pumping isn't as breastfeeding but they can kiss my butt.

Answer

No, it's bottle feeding breastmilk.

Answer

I'd call that ebf (expressed breastfeeding)
