I have been pumping from last 6 months and giving expressed breast milk to my baby as he is not latching properly and after that got used to the bottle .... as I have been pumping around 7 times a day my nipples have become very sore and am not able to wear anything comfortably..even a slight touch is excruciating and causing lot of discomfort.. ..can I stop pumping and stop giving expressed breast milk and switch to formula from his 7th month??
