Expressing breast milk questionFrom: Yasmine (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 29 Sep 1998 08:24:27 -0500 (CDT)
I have started supplementing my expressed breast milk with formula. Since my breasts don't produce an adequate amount of milk every 3 or 4 hours-- which is how often my two week old generally feeds-- I have to expresss my milk every 6 to 8 hours to get a sufficient amount of milk to satiate her (around 3 ounces). When I would express milk every 3 or 4 hours I would only get 1 ounce or so. I thought Ithat i would keep on using this method until my milk dried up on its own.However, a friend of mine told me today that she read somewhere that it is unsafe to feed a baby milk that has been stored in a mother's breast for longer than 5 hours. Is this true? I am really concerned now as I have been feeding my baby my expressed milk for a few days now.
