Breast milk is the best milk available for the baby, as long as it comes from the mother, it is safe, n will be as per requirements of baby with the required taste and warmth for the baby. But if you are unable to feed the baby for long hours, it's better to express the milk either by pump or manually to maintain continuous milk secretion and to prevent from the painful engorgement of breast
