breastfeeding or exclusively pumping

Any mummies here exclusively pumping? It seems my little one doesn't like to be breastfeed.

Me. My baby doesn't like my teats as well so whenever that happens, I will feel stress and frustrated. So I have decided to just do exclusive pumping. Do whichever is making you less stress!

Please check with lactation consultant first, babies' natural instinct is to latch and suckle. I had many difficulties at first too but after 1-2 months it became very easy

I would suggest that you don’t give up on breastfeeding via direct latching. It’s the closest form of bonding with your child. Keep trying

Was considering exclusively pumping but bubs is only 19 days old so i still don't wanna give up breastfeeding
