Anyone pumping and bottle feeding and not breastfeeding? I was so determined to breastfeed with this baby but it's so hard! I'm so tired all the time and pumping and bottle feeding is way easier. My son got used to a bottle from the NICU so I have to use a shield and I have a very fast let down so I have to pump a little prior to even trying to get him to latch. It just seems to take way more energy to breastfeed. I feel so guilty but it's stressing me out. I have two step kids (9 & 7, who live with us full time only see their mom every other weekend) and a 4 year old in addition to my newborn. I also have an autoimmune disease that causes muscle fatigue and weakness so I'm usually exhausted anyway. I wish I didn't feel guilty but I can't help it
