Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. Today, I need to go out for a while due to some matters, and it will take approximately half a day to come back. I would like to ask how long after pumping the breast milk it becomes unsuitable for consumption?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you are currently breastfeeding and cannot breastfeed for half a day, it is definitely going to cause engorgement. If it gets too severe, the milk will leak on its own. When you get home, you should express a little milk to feed the child. As long as the milk hasn't leaked, you can simply clean the nipple at home and express a bit of milk in the beginning, and then you can feed the child. No matter how long you come back, as long as there is still milk, the child can eat.
