@offgridgenz It is double the work cleanliness wise but stress wise it worked for us. Though I tried BF for months, I ended up exclusively feeding my girl (who was born via c section at 35 weeks) from bottle because at her birth my milk hadn’t yet come in. Then it had and she wouldn’t latch. Then I was able to get her to latch but then she wouldn’t stay on. Met with lactation consultants and kept on trying. It was getting so frustrating that I just ended up exclusively pumping and it took the pressure off both of us. I fed her while I pumped so we still bonded and I got the skin to skin benefits without her actually feeding from the boob. Do what feels best and don’t feel you need to do something out of judgment. At the end of the day she’s still getting your milk and there’s nothing wrong with that!
