Debating on whether I'm going to breastfeed this time. I know there are so many benefits. But I've also saw so many complaining about how hard it is! My last one was bottle fed with similac. Are there any moms out there strictly pumping there breast milk? I need to know the pros and cons of actually give the baby the breast and pumping. It's time for me to do a little research! 🤔

My plan is to strictly breastfeed if I can. If that doesn't work out then I'll pump. And if that doesn't work then I'll use formula.

my 1st was breastfed for 15 months. it's work but it's worth it. also pumping exclusively is even more work. it takes alot more time and dedication than baby to breast does. you'll have to create a schedule and stick to it or your supply will suffer. it's alot easier to just do baby to breast. people complain, sure but I'd complain if I had to get up and make a bottle everytime the kid cried too. I'd go nuts lol

@nicemmcha2015, so did you stick to the breast the whole time or when did you start pumping?

when my baby was first born I had to supplement formula until my milk started to come in. Now I breastfeed and pump..Like it but its very demanding lol

So your baby has no problem switching from breast to bottle? @mazeyy09

nope he likes both. People say that there is nipple confusion but he latches very well and he sucks a pacifier

@92angel, I pumped when we went places and it was the most irritating thing I've ever in my life done.

I nursed and pumped up until my son's 1st birthday and used my stored milk to help introduce milk to him.

I hate pumping. I ebf and love it! The thought of cleaning and making bottles sounds AWFUL! Lol. Nursing to me is so convenient and easy once you and baby get it down:) my baby also takes a paci no problem or confusion.
