[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pumping is nit the same. As the baby nurses, the fat content in the milk increases. The "hind milk". Put your baby to tge breast for that last eveni g feed and let him eat until he falks asleep.
Your pediatrician sounds misinformed and inexperienced. Is she very young? Kids of her own? To recommend quutying breast feeding when you seem to want to continue doesnt seem right.

This is wrong. You can exclusively pump and your baby still gets the fatty milk. It’s important to fully empty the breast. You can still pump and your baby will be getting the fat. My pumped milk always had a thick layer of fat at the top. This has to do with fat content changing throughout the day just like noon volume varies throughout the day. It has nothing to do with nursing.

And many babies fall asleep on the breast before they even get a full feed and that means they won’t get the fatty milk. You also do not want to get a baby used to being nursed to sleep. This will cause a lot of issues as they get older. [/quote]
