A member asked:
Can i still breast pump always without my breasts drying up , even if i rarely attach my baby too my breasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast pump: Some babies do not latch well and prefer not to breast feed. Mother then would pump her breast and feed her baby with the expressed breast milk. If this is your situation, frequent pumping will encourage continuous milk production for your baby.
