Temporary weaning from feeding?

How long would you expect this stage of treatment to last? Could you start pumping extra now and giver her expressed milk while you take the medication? If so, you could avoid formula. Either way you will have to make sure that you continue to pump while you take the meds and dump the unsafe milk, otherwise your supply will dry up. Since she has been feeding for 10 months, she should be able to go back to it if the time away is relatively short ( a younger, less experienced baby could "forget" how to latch in a short time) When you give her bottles (milk or formula) make sure they are slow flow even though she is older because that is most similar to the and will give the best chance of her being willing to go back to the . Or, you could skip the bottles all together and give her the formula or breastmilk in a sippy cup since she is old enough to start using a cup now. Good luck!!!
