Debating on pumping only or breastfeeding

Dayna

This is my 3rd and last baby. My first I was 19 and had emergency csection, my second I was 23 and planned csection. This one I’m having a planned csection. I’m also debating on if I want to breast feed, my first I was just so tired and emotional and she was crying to be fed that I just yelled at the nurse to get her a bottle. My son I didn’t even think I just did bottle.

I have inverted nipples so I’m sure if I decide I will need to use nipple shields. I’ve just heard a lot of women say it’s painful to breastfeed. I don’t plan to do it long and I also want to supplement formula. I remember how extremely painful it was to dry up and I don’t want to deal with that pain while going back to work after 8 weeks. So I probably only want to do it the first month and get her as much as possible. At first my plan was pumping only but now I’m kinda open to breastfeeding and pumping and formula.

Give me some input on what to do
