[quote=Anonymous]Op do you have plans to try to breastfeed, at all? I really think pumping is only beneficial if you are having struggle with breastfeeding and you plan to breastfeed later and or you're pumping while you're away from your baby and you breastfeed when you're with your baby. Without the feedback of the baby's saliva to your nipple some of the positive effects from a composition standpoint are moot. Like breastmilk from nursing changes feed to feed day to day which is super cool but also not actually a requirement for a healthy thriving baby. 
The only people that I would say pumping is worthwhile for are people who do it with ease and have no trouble with pumping. It's still breast milk at the end of the day it's just not breast milk that changes based on feedback from your baby which is kind of the important part IMO? 
If pumping is not working for you then don't keep doing it. Just like I would tell a mom as great as breastmilk is if nursing isn't working for you then stop doing it. There is nothing that's going to happen in your child's future where you will look back and be like this outcome happened because I did x. Regardless of whether x is formula feeding pumping or breastfeeding. [/quote]
