  • Lactating mother can also pump herself and store it in the fridge, and use it for later

    @PoolPartyRenekton: Unfortunately, that would either require the baby to drink from a baby bottle (which is said to cause downstream problems because after that, some babies refuse to drink from the breast), or to pump away considerable amounts of milk not meant for drinking, while the baby later still gets directly breastfed - which is counterproductive, as lactation is self-regulating, and within a few days, the breasts would just produce more milk.
