A member asked:
I haven't pump breastmilk for 3 days and i'm not nursing. should i keep continue pumping and will i lost the milk supply?

You can still nurse!: If you want to maintain your milk supply you need to either nurse your baby or keep pumping. If you stop doing these, your milk supply will begin to dry up. However, even after 3 days, you should still be able to start back up again if you desire and are persistent. Best wishes!
