I want to exclusively pump. Baby boy seems like he realllly wants to nurse though but it hurts so…

So have you bottle fed him?

@redheadedmonster, yes but I’m pumping my breast milk into bottles.

How’s he doing with that? I didn’t breastfeed but I can imagine how painful it is! Pumping is still great!

See a lactation consultant. This is likely because of improper latch. Breastfeeding is uncomfortable at first but it should not be very painful.

Exclusive pumping is possible but often the breast stops responding to the pump. Baby is the most efficient milk extractor. Better than the best pump money can buy.

@redheadedmonster, he drinks the bottle and I’m making enough but he just starts crying and fussing after he eats still because he wants to actually latch on to me

It will pass!!
