How to go from pumping exclusively to breast exclusively!
I'm just going to preface this by saying that I'm not going to be heartbroken if I can't get back to EBF.
When I was in the hospital with my little one, I was exclusively breastfeeding. Then the on staff pediatrician scared me into thinking I wasn't producing enough milk for her and wanted me to give her formula as a supplement every single feeding! In addition to that, my daughter has a pretty severe tongue tie. While her latch was pretty strong, she was destroying my boobs and it was extremely painful. For those two reasons, I switched over to pumping exclusively (so I'd know exactly how much she was getting so I wouldn't have to give formula and to save my boobs)!
Her tongue tie is going to be clipped on Friday and I've consistently been pumping 1.5-3 oz for her for every feeding (every two hours), so I'm thinking of trying to go back to breast after Friday!
Anyone have any pointers for me??
