I used a
breast pump, even though my lactation consultant suggested not using a pump for the first few weeks, after I got my milk in I always pumped and used a bottle, and it made it so DH could feed the baby, it was quicker for night feedings, and so much easier on me and my son not having to go through the stress of latching on. I used an electric, it's quick, painless (a little uncomfortable, but not painful), and totally worth it!
