Laurie Wheeler's mom with sore nipples wants to know disadvantages of just
pumping.  When people ask me that, I tell them:  It's really boring.  All
the time consuming-ness of nursing with none of the enjoyable parts like the
cuddling and resting together.

When pain persists, there really is something the matter.  It is so sad that
it is so difficult to get medical professionals to take nipple/breast pain
seriously.  If the pain were in the foot, or a tooth, people would mobilize
to discover it's source, but in the breast, somehow this is trivial.
