[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Know that this is an unusual decision when it’s your first child and you have not tried breastfeeding yet. Early on, babies eat every two hours so you will be spending half an hour pumping, half an hour feeding, and then only have an hour off. You’re volunteering to take on twice the work and a nurse may want to persuade you otherwise or just understand why. It’s the first of many things in parenting that are new to you until you have experienced them, and it’s hard to make a choice ahead of time without knowing.[/quote]

Huh? What on earth is anti feminist about trying to save another mom time and likely her sanity? OP is not making an informed choice. She is choosing to pump without ever having pumped. All of us on the thread who have actually pumped are trying to help her by letting her know her plan is insane.

I have exclusively pumped, exclusively breastfed, and combo fed. All of my kids’ first food after birth was formula. I’m pro whatever works and mom wants.

Pumping is awful. Someone needs to tell OP. She needs to try all the various methods of feeding before making a choice. Yes, LCs are pushy and irritating. Just say not right now and repeat until you leave.[/quote]
