Direct latch vs bottle fed

pumping is still breastfeeding... please don’t discredit mummies who exclusively pump, it takes a lot of commitment, is extremely tiring, and logistically very troublesome. i struggled with latching my baby. in the beginning, it was very common for me to latch for 2 hours, and i still had to supplement with a bottle immediately after as my baby was still hungry as he was not latching well. after a while, i knew it was not sustainable as i had no time to do anything else other than latching and feeding. this was why i switched to exclusively pumping, it was so much more efficient for me and my baby and i had time to do other things around the house. i was also okay with baby drinking from the bottle as eventually i had to return to work anyway. do what works best for you and your family
