@stef.ferraz: This conversation is over… 🫠 I mean, sure, she got a bottle but I still had to pump to give it to her. It is not the same thing, but kinda is. #pump #pumpingmom #pumping #mom #motherhood #momlife
I’ve breastfed, pumped, and formula fed. Pumping was the hardest.

As an EP-er, there was nothing "easy way" about it!

Pumping is so hard 😭😭 so is BF. People who haven’t struggled will never understand. In my opinion pumping is harder because it’s double the work

Personal favorite: You should’ve breastfed. It’s so much easier and the bond is amazing. Thanks Karen, a week’s NICU stay, lip/tongue tie, and 6wks of lactation counseling didn’t help, but your words definitely did.

nah pumping is way harder at least for me. it takes way more time to feed my baby the same amount and then to top it all off you have to wash not only bottles but also pump parts

Pumping is exhausting, my daughter couldn’t latch and I had to give up pumping a few weeks in, supply issues and exhaustion

Boob milk is boob milk. Pulling is much harder I always say I nurse because I’m lazy! Pumping is more work AND trouble when going out. Go mama 🔥

As a woman who pumped 85% of the time and could only feed off the breast at night because I worked 60 hours a week… pumping is wayyyyyyyyy harder and more mentally draining

2 preemies led me to exclusively pumping. 🤷♀️I spent HOURS with lactation counselors but my boys couldn’t make the transition from bottle back to breast. When they needed to be fed, I did what needed to be done! Pumping IS breastfeeding!

Not all babies latch or latch well. Some just take a bottle easier. My 2nd born was a NICU baby and they didn’t want me to nurse, they wanted the milk from the pump. After he got out of the NICU, he got used to the bottle and I continued to pump for 11 months. We rarely ever nursed. Nothing wrong with pumping. They get the milk regardless if it’s pumped or straight from the breast!
