it's okay. at least you're able to monitor his intake of milk too. besides, exclusively pumping is not any easier than breastfeeding and its also quite time consuming! sooner or later when you go back to work you also got to pump out for your baby, so don't feel bad about it!

yes, it’s totally ok. i understand your guilt, but i did it too for my own sanity. your mental health is important.
