A. But my doctor suggested not to use the pump and breastfeed her directly, however the pain may be, because bottle feed is not good for her health

A. Yes that is fine not to worry once your nipples are healed you can directly breastfeed the baby. Not to worry this is quite common almost all the moms are in this situation at one point or other.
