Mothers Who Opt for Breast Milk, Not Breast-Feeding

After weeks of crying from my baby not latching, the tears, the frustration, and the depression: pumping is what I turned to as an alternative. Breastfeeding is best, but if it's not working for you, shouldn't pumping breast milk be an alternative? It's an alternative that no one talks about. Some women really can't, or really don't want to breastfeed. But the baby can still get the nourishing breast milk! I started off pumping when my son was in the NICU and continued to pump when he wouldn't feed from my breast. Thank God I had this as an alternative! Plus, I could save the milk and have other people feed him too!

(Although I think it's kind of funny that the hands free pumping bras look like torture devices!)
