    Ah, dude, I've been there. My first didn't latch on properly until she was 6 fucking months. That entire time I was pumping and I hated it. It was hard. So I can genuinely sympathise. It certainly doesn't work for everyone. But I have other friends who found it really easy and it allowed them to go back to work. So it's certainly an option worth exploring if the woman wants to work and still provide breastmilk.

      Holy shit that women at work was a beast if she actually didnt mind it! I knew to stfu when my wife was pumping because she got heated. She would rip them off aggressively when she was done. She did it for a long ass time

        The particular friend I'm thinking of who found it easy had a really easy time breastfeeding as well, so I think it all came naturally to her. She used a handpump on one side and fed the baby on the other, so she built up a supply of extra milk really quickly. I think she only pumped a bit at work to maintain her supply.

        Fuck, I'm so glad I'm not having any more babies. All that pumping and breastfeeding stuff was really full on.
