[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure why you've asked this question. Every experienced breastfeeder/pumper on here has said that your plan is the harder one, yet you continue to argue why you're correct and everyone else is wrong. If you don't want to take the advice of moms that have been through this then not sure why you even asked. Are you looking for validation? Because so far no one has agreed with you. We're all trying to help you avoid a path that will be harder in the long run because as a first time mom you don't know what you don't know. [/quote]

OP here. I’m trying to make these breastfeeding experience easier and so far it hasn’t been. Being tied to the couch or a chair every two hours for 30-60 minutes sucks. My nipples hurt, my back hurts, and it’s really so tiring. I feel like pumping every 3 hours for 20-30 minutes will be less exhausting and probably less painful. I will be able to get more sleep and I can skip a feeding. Having to feed and pump it’s really double the work and it would be easier to just pump. At least for now but then I think it might not be fun months from now when baby can become a more efficient nurser. I will be pumping as long as I make more than baby eats to build a stash. [/quote]

Since you’re not opposed to formula, I recommend just formula feeding. Then you don’t even have to worry about the pump. There is no pint in putting all of this effort in to breastfeeding/pumping if you are able to afford and access formula.
