Do you prefer to latch baby or pump out milk when you are outside and why? I am referring to staying outside like half a day out shopping with baby.

If ur baby is willing and can, I prefer to latch. Because if u were to pump, you would also need a nursing room or a nursing cover. Main reason for latching is that no need to bring the pump stuff and bottles (save space/time/effort to wash too - all the mothers shout hurray!), and latch is the faster (just take out boobs), no need to find or carry hot water and normal water (some malls only provide hot water in the nursing room - no normal water - how to make milk) But if ur baby is easily distracted and really takes a long long time to be done (like almost an hr) then I suppose pump is best - provided someone can look after baby or baby can stay in pram when outside too :) I latch when out but my boy sometimes never finish drinking so I just let it be and latch earlier later :)
