Switch to direct latch

I’ve been doing exclusive pumping. Is it worthwhile to try to swtich to direct latch? I’m afraid that the milk flow will be too slow for baby now who is two months old

Yes it’s worthwhile to try direct latching. It’s more convenient. You don’t have to bottles when u go out with him. Also don’t have to wash pump parts. But unfortunately have to always be the one feeding him. Maybe can try a mixture. It will also be easier for when you go back to work, if you do work. Cause some babies after latching, they refuse to be fed by bottle. So I think a mixture of both will be a good balance. Perhaps can bottle feed in the day and direct latch at night (easier too, don’t have to warm up the milk 😉)
