[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pumping is awful and I only did it to facilitate being able to breastfeed. I can’t imagine being like “yay pump, boo closeness with my baby.” Formula/bottle feeding is absolutely fine. But why would you choose the worst of all possible things, exclusively? [/quote] Yeah I did some pumping at work and the weird hormonal let down sadness I got was kind of surprising. I didn't get it while nursing. I also found I didn't empty fully with the pump so I tended to be a little uncomfortable until I could nurse again. Pumping also just takes way longer, particularly factoring in the cleanup part. I could read while nursing, pumping takes both hands because even in the pumping bra you can need to do some massaging. Everyone's experience is different but I'm currently pregnant with my second and I'm hoping to pump as little as possible this time. It's 100% okay to formula feed, seriously.[/quote]
