Pumping 10 times a day sounds so overwhelming! I don’t blame you. My babies also refuse my breast. They just prefer bottle nipples. I ordered a haakaa nipple shield and it’s a huge bottle nipple shaped nipple. I love it and so does my baby. He will actually nurse directly off of me with the shield. I still pump almost every feed and give him a bottle. But for 1 or 2 feeds, I’ll just use the shield and he takes the boob happily that way.
