Breasfeeding vs pumping
Hi there!
Looking for opinions and experiences.
I had an emergency C, and my milk came in late, so we had to start with formula. Worked on it and my milk came, but baby is now used to bottle. Managed to make him latch a few times, but ut was painful and after a while he was getting a bit frustrated, i guess because of the flow. So i stuck with pumping.
Now here's my dilema :
Yes, i have to pump regularly every 2-3 hours. So not getting too much sleep. My husband insists it would have been loads easier if i would have kept trying to breastfeed, so i wouldn't get out of bed, having to get the milk ready all the time, and even he could get more sleep. So i think this is all one sided, as he would get more sleep, and i would get even less, as i thought breastfeeding would mean even less sleep because babies do lots of cluster feeding? As in i could end up feeding every 10 20 min compared to every 2-3h?
There's pros and cons for both exclusively breastfeeding and exclusively pumping (especially for the future on this as i will end up just giving the bottle to the baby and feed himself while i have a bit of time for myself - under supervision ofc)
Any takes on this? Anyone who switched from one to another? What do you think was easier?
