[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who pumped exclusively for six months, I don’t think it’s worth it. There are all these hypotheses about day and night milk and the mother’s body “reading” what the baby needs through their saliva and providing it in the milk. I got into a rhythm with pumping and didn’t hate it. I just think it was a waste of time now. [/quote] OP here. It’s hard to believe there is no nutritional benefit from pumped milk? Is there really no benefit? [/quote] Of course there's a benefit, especially in the very beginning, but there is also a trade off between your mental health and the time you can spend with the baby vs. pumping all day long. IME with two kids - one with whom I EP'd and one that I formula fed, there's no difference. Formula fed child is just as happy and healthy and active as breast milk fed child. They're 11 and 9 FWIW.[/quote]
