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 think its really a personal choice. I preferred pumping as I had to be back in school a month after delivering and felt it was the most practical choice. Partner/ family can take over to feed with the bottle instead. However if you wish to latch, TMC lactation consultant gave me a nipple puller to use. Have to do it every time before latching. My daughter was able to latch successfully each time with no issues.
