Anyone else planning to exclusively pump?

Question

Having twins & I just can’t imagine breastfeeding two babies.....I didn’t start to enjoy breastfeeding my girl until she was 9 months old. She never took a bottle, ever. I still pumped, & I haaaated pumping & breastfeeding together. Hoping it works out for me!

Answer

When my 3 year old was little i pumped 6x a day and only nursed overnight.  So while not technically Exclusively Pumping, i mostly pumped. 
Fyi, breastmilk is amazing. Their saliva can literally alter the composition of the milk, so if they nurse, the milk becomes more customized. 
But regardless, EPing is so inpressive and I totally applaud your effort!! Good job momma!!

Answer

Wow I did this when my babe was on a boob strike for 3 days. It was so hard! Good job mama for hanging in there and doing it with your other baby. I'm sure you will be able to do it again!
Saliva does play a role in changing your milk to your babies needs, but so does kissing your baby and giving skin to skin. Don't feel like your baby isn't getting all the benefits!

Answer

I exclusively pumped for my first since he was a preemie. I never had a chance to breastfeed. I'm still on the fence of if I want to/will be able to breastfeed this time. Exclusively pumping is all I know so I don't know how I would handle nursing.

Answer

I’m formula feeding

Answer

I pumped while at work and breastfed at home. To me, personally, breastfeeding is so much easier and takes less time. I hated having to clean bottles and spend the time pumping . I was always excited when I had a break from work and could just nurse. But you know both too and maybe it’s different for different people. I admire people who can exclusively pump because I don’t think I could

Answer

I exclusively pumped for my son since he had a lip tie which we found out a year later and wasn’t able to latch its a lot of work and and it’s not the same type of bond I did it for a year
