Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 Has anyone ever left their breastfed baby for a week and had success pumping a weeks supply of milk for the baby beforehand? Rene' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2000 Report Share Posted August 1, 2000 I haven't done this but I've been told it will work. I'm prone to yeast infections and I'm allergic to the common treatments for them (because I've used them much to much in the past). I'm going to have to use the oral med for it (Diflucan) next month (been puting it off) and when I do I can't nurse for 5 days. Our pharmacist - whose wife if bf'ing - told me that I should have no problem pumping for 5 days and then going back to nursing. He said my milk may decrease but will get me back to normal once she begins to nurse again. What I've read backs him up. I'm sure all women are different but sounds like the odds are that this should work. --- BRad Comer wrote: > Has anyone ever left their breastfed baby for a week > and had success > pumping a weeks supply of milk for the baby > beforehand? > > Rene' > > > Give the Gift of Life Breastfeed! > http://www.lactivist.com > ===== Soyster Owner, Soyster's Baby Boutique http://babyboutique.safeshopper.com __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
