If you temporarily stop breastfeeding

Actions you should consider if you temporarily stop breastfeeding.

• Hand express or pump your breast milk regularly and discard it to maintain your milk supply and prevent a breast infection.
• Clean your pump kit parts after each use and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
• If needed, connect with a lactation support provider via phone or telehealth appointment to help you manage your milk supply and create a temporary feeding plan for your baby.
• Breastfeeding can resume when advised by local health officials or after evacuation and self-decontamination. For additional questions or concerns, contact your baby’s doctor.
