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? :(

My baby has mild tongue tie issue and that made latching even more painful! i even cried when he was happily latching on me one time. After struggling with the pain for weeks I decided I will do exclusive pumping because it hurts too much and it made me scared for each feedings. I also enjoy the kind of bond when he latches but I guess my happiness is also very important 😂 exclusive pumping for me is happy mother happy baby! So go for it !
