Same Health Benefits Pumping Exclusively?

[Anonymous]

I already posted, but I just thought of something.

True, the baby is your best little "pumper" as their sucking naturally drains the breasts, but if you increase the suction/cycle speed of the pump a little higher (but not uncomfortable - just a little bit of a tug) then you should have no problem maintaining your supply.

Also, the nipple shields work wonders (I think a PP mentioned that). It doesn't happen overnight, but with a gradual introduction you may be able to work through your latch issues.
