A member asked:
Can i safely practice both breastfeeding on demand and pumping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeeding: Most mothers can both breast feed and pump to store extra milk. Your milk basically comes in on supply and demand so if you pump in addition to nursing your body should produce more. I have many mothers who do some additional pumping so they can store breast milk for a time when they cannot be available to nurse. Good luck.
