Unemployed mother of 11day old - Exclusive pumping & feeding because of pain?

I was put onto pumping whilst still in hospital recovering from a Ceser. (Ceser was a walk in the park compaired to the AGONY of feeding)... I want my daughter to have milk only, and have no problem with supply. Am seeing lactation consultant ect, but have actualy settled into good predictable express, feed, sleep pattern. Still find feeding sore, awkward, difficult, and unpredictable. Am I wrong to prefer the expressing over the 'real feeds', everyones trying to teach me correct latches ect... but expressing seems to run like clockwork. Are there any health benefits with nose to , rather than nose to bottle? Has anyone else chosen to express-not for work commitments?
