Exclusive pumping

Hi mommies How do you feel about doing exclusive pumping? I have flat nipples and it’s very hard and painful for baby to latch on so my LC recommended exclusive pumping. But baby seems to want to latch on me everytime.. it’s painful and I don’t enjoy it but I feel bad about not latching for my baby.. any mommies feel the same way? :(

If it’s really painful for you.. continue to pump and introduce a pacifier if baby needs to comfort latch? Your well being is important too.

as long as we decides to breastfeed we are doing a good job already :)
