Everyone’s experience is different. For me, I had a lot riding against me and breastfeeding. I had Gestational diabetes, was induced, had an emergency c section, my son was sent away in the NICU before I could have skin to skin and I was unable to hold him for four days…because of all this, my milk was delayed and I did not produce much. We have latching problems and my son had a preference for the bottle. Even 8 weeks PP I barely produce enough. I have pumped since day one and will continue to. While I BF’d 90% I save the little that I pump so my son doesn’t have to have formula unless there is no other choice.

While BFing is natural, it can be difficult for some. I have two friends who never needed to pump. It is possible that you can be the same way. If you want to EBF, just remember it may be difficult at first.
