A member asked:
Is there a difference between bottle feeding breast milk and breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The kid is a better milk extractor than your attempts at pumping and natural feeding stimulates milk production better. The kid also gains a certain level of closeness /hearing your heartbeat/ smelling your natural scent that is hard to duplicate with a bottle.However, you must do whatever it takes so you both make it through the process.
