Has anyone exclusively pumped their breast milk?
I've been breastfeeding with a nipple shield for the past 10 weeks. Baby is barely gaining any weight although is happy and poo's/wee's a lot and sleeps well.
She has about 2 bottles of formula a day and has started getting annoyed with feeding using nipple shields. She also cannot latch properly without. She has obviously decided that the bottle is easier and doesn't want to put in required effort for boobs!
I am considering exclusively pumping, but don't know if this is unrealistic? I would like to do so for the next 3 or so months. Also, would a Medela double electronic pump be suitable for this or would a hospital grade pump be required?
Any advice much appreciated
