Pump and dump


Some drugs (e.g., radioactive substances used in x-ray diagnostic procedures) require temporary weaning. If your doctor advises that you wait to nurse your baby until a potentially harmful drug is out of your system, pump your milk every 3-4 hours during the time you are not nursing and discard the milk. Meanwhile, use the "safe" milk you previously stored in the "milk bank" in your freezer.
