I’ve learned quickly that feeding doesn’t always look one way. I started out breastfeeding, then added in pumping, and now I’m doing more of a hybrid approach. Some days it’s nursing for comfort, other days it’s bottles of pumped milk for convenience, and honestly, finding that balance has been a lifesaver.
It’s easy to feel pressure to “choose” one way, but the truth is, fed is best and every mama has to figure out what works for her body, her baby, and her lifestyle. For me, hybrid feeding gives us flexibility and still keeps that special bond.
