Direct latch vs bottle fed

I direct latch all the way except for the first 2 mths when I thought I was not making enough milk. Latching was easier for me because less hassle with bottles, rushing when baby is upset, being half awake preparing the bottle at night. just pop it out and done. I also don't get paranoid how many ml of milk baby drinks. with that said, it works for me as I am a SAHM. For those eventually going to work, pumping clearly works for them among other reasons. Every family has their own preference and system and that's OK. and yes, it is stilll breastfeeding even if it is not directly from the source. lol They just call it exclusively pumping.
