Ok ladies. I go through some serious ups and downs with breast feeding. I would like to exclusively do this but latching has been an issue for us. My lactation consultant said to bf for 6 weeks min without pacifiers or bottles. I guess sometimes I'm at my wits end       And just want to pump n bottle feed. Is there a difference between bf and pumping? Or do they have the same benefits? Anyone out there know this info? I don't know how much more crying myself or my hubby or baby can take!
