Exclusively breastfeeding? (definition)


I hope this isnt a dumb question...
I have seen the term "exclusively breastfeeding", and I am trying to figure out if that applies to me.

I only give my baby my breastmilk (no formula)... but he does get 1 bottle per day of my pumped breastmilk. I pump while my husband gives him the bottle. Is he an exclusively breastfed baby or does the bottle count against that term?

I would say that you are exclusively BF. If your LO is getting just breast milk, you are breastfeeding regardless how it is given. IMHO. X

exclusively breastfed means being given breastmilk only even if it is not direct xx

Thank you! I didn't want to use the term for myself incorrectly and offend anyone
