Bcz of not letting milk outside....your breasts will be tender and painful.. milk will not be sour and there will be no change in tast.and content of milk. Bcz of breast engorgement...your breast will be prone for  infection and abscess development

No. If the milk production is more, you can express and store in refrigerator and reuse it for the baby to prevent engorgement and infection.
