Could I pump breast milk and only bottle feed my baby the breast milk? My son has completely tore up my left nipple to where it has a bad sore that's bleeding. I don't want to breast feed anymore but can't afford formula and want him to have breast milk...
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
Breast feeding is a full time job I really want to give up already 😢
took me 10 minutes to pump this from both breast after feeding Ethan for 25 minutes. My milk supply is going crazy yesterday I pumped 8 bottles my milk stash is going to be great
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up with something before are baby is here. can anyone help??
Breast Feeding mommies, Saturday is my mans bday and he wants to go out to a bar. I was thinking about having a couple beers. if I did how long would my milk be bad for?

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

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.

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

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

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! (:

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
