A. It's great that you're seeking information on how to best feed your preterm babies. While pumping may not produce as much milk as direct feeding, it can still help build your milk supply and provide valuable nutrients for your babies. Bottle feeding may not necessarily decrease the effectiveness of direct feeding, as it can be used as a supplement for when direct feeding is not an option. Remember to talk to your healthcare provider for personalized advice and support. Keep up the good work!
