Yup my milk just not from the boob he latched once in the hospital but I pumped from there on

@iburmontes, I have many mommy friends who only pump and feed their baby breast milk that way. some women just don't feel comfortable nursing so they pump and put their milk in a bottle. Baby is still getting the important nutrients from the breast milk whether they're on the boob or getting it from a pumped bottle :)

@motherof2taurusboys, so he had your milk just not from the boob?

I just pumped and bottle my first.. plan on the same thing this time

I have been really considering doing this as well! I had such a hard time breastfeeding my daughter, so why not make it a little easier on myself. With my daughter, I was so overwhelmed by everyone always trying to make you feel like the only option is breastfeeding, but I ended up giving my daughter formula and she is as healthy as can be. It never made me less of a mom, so do what is best for you and your baby, you are the only one that will know what works for you both. I love the saying "fed is best". Good luck!

As long as your baby gets fed you're doing your job 👍 @iburmontes

You are free to do what works for you. Just remember that constantly cleaning and warming bottles can get tedious after a while. Whipping out the boob is much easier.

@karkster420, I feel not a real mother if I don't breast feed

Absolutely.
