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? :(

I exclusively pumped for my first boy, intensively for the 1st 6 months then tapered after he was one. fully stopped after he turned 2. i think my major obstacle for EP was the low supply that made me lose even more motivation. also he seemed to lose interest in BM when he turned 2 lol.
