I dont want to pump.

How are you mummies coping with the pumping schedule for newborns? I'm only a few days postpartum but finding pumping such a hassle to do every day especially at night. :( Feel like giving up on breast milk and feeding just formula.. but at the same time trying to continue because its supposed to be good for baby.

Hi, I am a low supplier as well, and I had latching problem too. So currently I do pump, try to latch whenever I can but I do mix feed my baby with formula if I haven't pumped, baby being fussy and not latching or not getting any supply. I do understand pumping can be a hassle but you can try to schedule it as per your comfort but if its still affecting your mental health then switching over to FM is no issue at all. There are plenty of good FM with all the necessary nutrients available, like others said in this post a happy Mum and happy baby is worth more than anything :) You will do just fine mama, trust your instincts :)
