I can say that I dreaded nursing at times which is why I started pumping and bottle feeding during the day and nursing in the evening and night. I loved having that bonding time with my daughter, but I was so frustrated that she was constantly wanting to nurse while she was awake. Those long nursing sessions lasted up to an hour until she would eventually fall asleep. I was getting somewhat sore, but most of all, I was worried that she was not getting enough milk. She always seemed so hungry when she woke up after nursing...even if she just finished nursing 10 minutes ago. When I bottle fed with b___stmilk, she would go at least an hour and a half, if not two hours, completely satisfied. And I was actually able to play with her and enjoy her in other ways besides nursing as well as get a new needed things done around the house. And I felt more confident that she was getting enough to eat. I don't agree that pumping is lazy. Sometimes it enables you to enjoy other things besides nursing all day.
