Usage on f brest pump
I have 27 days old baby and i got chicken pox.skin Doctor suggested me to use pump and express the milk for a week. I read that usage of pump will reduce the milk production. Is it ok to use pump for one week or is there any other method to feed baby.

Since you have the pox, you should be careful that the baby doesn't contract it from you . So just for 1 or 2 weeks you can express milk regularly and then once you feel better you can feed directly. Until then be patient and take care.
