If you BF and pump what do you call it?

There are exclusive BFers and exclusive pumpers but what if you do both?  I pump during the day and BF at night and on the weekends. I never know what to call it.

    To me it's breastfeeding no matter what because you are feeding your LO the milk that you make.

    agreed!  You can explain the details to people if you want, but in general, I'd just call it breastfeeding!

    I agree. I just say I'm breastfeeding. As long as he doesn't get formula, it's all the same to me.

    I pump two days a week while at work and nurse the rest of the time.  I say I'm breastfeeding.

    I would call that breastfeeding as well :)

    FWIW I sometimes tell people I'm breastfeeding (like people at work for instance that see me pumping).  They really dont need to know the details of my milk production or my LO's latch - they just need to know I need 15 minutes twice a day :)
