Breast feeding

Question

Breast feeding

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi doctor, I'm a lactating mother of a 21 day old baby. I follow on demand feeding which makes it very difficult for me. I hardly take rest and also the nipples get sore. Do you recommend using the electric breast pump? I heard that if we use that and a feeding bottle, the baby will forget to latch naturally and will never ever be comfortable again with the nipples sucking. Please suggest
