Is Breast Pump A Better Option Instead Of Breast Feeding?
I am a working woman.i have very less time to breast feed my 5 week old son.so I use breast pump to express milk and store it, later in d day my mil gives it to the baby.i am concerned if pumping the milk out and not letting the baby suck it will lead to less premature stoppage or lessening of milk production

Hello,
Natural feeding is always better than a breast pump. Natural sucking by baby stimulate the production of hormones like oxytocin from the brain which will augment milk production.
Moreover, breastfeeding is also good for the growth and development of baby as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
