Accepted Answer

Mam if you’re comfortable feeding the child by pumping the milk and video child is happy accepting it then why do you have to bother about what people have to say if they are saying it’s going it’s that the other whatever you just have to say I am pumping the feed it is my problem it has got nothing to do with you so please stop saying it and if you are getting so much hassle with it then learn to stand for you and give it back nicely and make them understand what you want to say because at the end of the day if you are mentally harass it is going to affect your child because of your hormones and emotions with your feeding
