Could I pump breast milk and only bottle feed my baby the breast milk? My son has completely tore up…

Yes girl you can do whatever your heart desires

have you apply for wic?! they give you some cans of formula! but yes you can pump and bottle feed, there also some lotion that's numbs the boob so it won't hurt when you breastfeed @carlyann00

@mommy529, @neni0424 @savannamarie thanks ladies. I'm going to try it out!

You could but its gonna be a little bit harder to get your supply up because a pump cant stimulate your breast like baby can. Pump that side till it heals but when you nurse switch off boobs between feedings. Put nipple butter on and pump for a day. Dont give up mama I know it hurts like hell, everytime my son would latch Id clinch a blanket but eventually it wont hurt at all! My son is almost 8 months with 8 teeth and were still going lol theres gonna be obstacles but YOU can do this! (:

try using a nipple shield for your cracked nipple. the blood actually won't hurt baby. you can use nipple cream in between feeds to help with the healing process

they are great !! && WIC.

make sure he has a good latch. that could be why your sore right now. he may not be getting enough of the areola in his mouth

When my milk came in my son wouldn't latch/ couldn't because my boobs were to hard. So we use a nipple shield. He's exclusively breastfed and my nipples never got sore. Nipple shields are great.

your baby might have a bad latch my daughter does and I'm nipple was cracked I used a nipple shield and to heal my nipple I put my bm on it and let it air dry and coconut oil

where do you buy nipple shields and are the expensive ? @h653 @jasalynnsmommy

@adevlin2, at Walmart & $3 .

@adevlin2, Target or Wal-Mart. I think they're like $10

my daughter is on Dr. Brown bottles and mine is 5$ the have cheaper ones for 4$ . At WALMART.
