Is it safe to swtich from breastfeeding to pumping for 6 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe to pump: There are no inherent safety risks from pumping over breast feeding, but prolonged changes to bottle feeds over nursing can interfere with lactation and infant's interest in restarting on a natural nipple rather than artificial one.
