Pumping or BF for 2nd babe

Discussion

Hey all! I'm currently 10 months into exclusively pumping with my first baby. When thinking about having more kids in the future, the thought of trying to breastfeed again makes me want to cry. Those initial weeks of her just screaming at my chest were somewhat traumatic and I'm torn between wanting to try again vs just go right to exclusively pumping, even though it's such a grind. I'd love to hear feedback from both sides - are there any of you who did choose to do exclusively pumping for your second? Or anyone who tried BF again? Would love any and all input ❤️
