Exclusively pumping for babies first 3 months, is this okay?

Pumping: Any amount of breast milk you give your baby is great. It doesn't matter whether you nurse or pump.

Personal Choice: There are many ways to breastfeed that will work for your family. One issue with pumping and then feeding the baby is that it actually takes more time, compared to just breastfeeding the baby. If you need to pump while you are away at work, that is fine. Transitioning to breastfeeding while you are with the baby will help you save time and have more fun baby bonding time.
