I only pump. My baby is 3 weeks old tomorrow. We had latching issues and I tried to give my body time to heal and in the meantime she got used to the bottles. I kept trying but she still wouldn't latch. I actually prefer pumping and giving her a bottle. She was getting so frustrated when we would try to latch it broke my heart to see her so upset. As long as she is getting it, I don't mind pumping. It's easier for when my husband is watching her too. She loves it and is content. Her bottle puts her right to sleep and she is sleeping 4 hours at a time at night.
Exclusively pumping
I was just wondering who else has been mostly pumping instead of giving boob to baby? I loved giving boob but my nips would sting and burn and were so sensitive I couldn't take it. I feel guilty but it works out the same? She's still getting the good stuff. I did here though pumping won't give out as much milk as bf but when I give her boob it seems like she doesn't get enough so that's another reason why I just pump and give her a bottle. Just wanted to know if anyone else is on the same boat.
