What are the disadvantages of breast-milk pumping?
Risk of infection, and loss of vitality are the minor disadvantages. Loss of intimacy is the biggest disadvantage, I see. The mother-child bonding is totally absent. Physical touch and cuddling also makes a difference to the babies growth, I'd imagine. Not to talk of the impact of the mother’s voice and touch.
Why even give birth to a baby if you can’t take proper care of it?
Or why even bother to pump out your milk, breast milk is available for sale in the internet. Or you have surrogate mothers to do the job for you. Do you think these are feasible options?
How a mother feeds her baby is my concern because it impact how the next generation is brought up. 'Children are our future', remember?

Some other disadvantages are having to sterilize the equipment being used, storage issues, not being able to pump at a convenient time, and discomfort while doing it. There are women who don't want to breastfeed but understand the importance of breast milk so they will pump it out and feed it to their babies.

The mother-child bonding is totally absent. = So in your view adoptive moms or mom's who are unable to breast feed and their babies don't have bonds?
Physical touch and cuddling also makes a difference to the babies growth = So in your view adoptive children and children of mom's who can't breast feed don't have the same level of physical touch and cuddling as children who are breast feed?
Not to talk of the impact of the mother’s voice and touch = And in your view children who are bottle fed don't have the same impact of their mother's voice & touch?
You are ignorant.
