A. Best way is directly breastfeeding. But its your choise what would you like to and also depends on baby's comfortness.

A. It's your choice of comfort to feed the baby, however breastfeeding will always be good for the baby.

Anu SharmaMom of a 2 yr 6 m old boy2 years ago

A. Pumping the breast is also a good choice, but the breast will not be able to respond to the baby directly. Breast milk is the ideal food for the first 6 months of life, and breastfeeding provides life-long benefits to the adult and baby. These benefits increase the longer a person breastfeeds.
