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.

First one month postpartum, I pumped every 4-6 hours instead of 3 hours cos I was too tired. I pumped at 11pm, slept at 12am and woke up at 6am to pump again. If breasts are too full, then I woke up at 4am to pump. With this schedule, my breasts are trained to last overnight without getting blocked. On month 2, I saw a lactation consultant to learn latching and practiced a lot… I must say, it’s the best decision I’ve made as it simplifies the whole thing, especially when travelling! I don’t really pump anymore ever since and continue to feed on demand.
