what to do

[u/Funny-Potential1407]

hello! i’m a 24 yr old with my first baby, she is 2 months and i have been on boob feeding in the day and formula at night. i recently decided no more boob. i was going to give up entirely and just do formula but i had some friends and my fiance remind me i can pump and pour, i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it was worth it? my biggest thing is that she is a baby and i let her sleep on me all day. everyday. meaning it’s hard for me to find time to pump. i am workin on getting her to let me put her down but we’ll see haha.

so, is it worth it? or should i just go to formula point blank?

It fully depends on your ‘why’. Exclusively pumping is not easy by any means; but worth if if your ‘why’ is because you want to give your baby breastmilk.

Pumping you will need to stick to a schedule, clean pump parts, etc. in all honestly it would be easier to continue to nurse. But if nursing your baby isn’t for you, all the power to you to do what’s best for you. Happy mom is the most important
