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've no issues with exclusive pumping. Although my preference is to latch as much as possible, at the end of the day the only option is the one that is sustainable and practical. It is what it is, I'll follow what the PD or LC recommends, no need to feel bad at all 👍
