Using breast pumped milk

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

Hi, I have a 25day old baby who is exclusively breastfed. To have a bit of sleep, I extract Breast milk for 1 feed and ask someone to feed the baby. For rest all of the feeds I directly breast feed him. I have been doing this for the past 10days and haven't seen any change in the amount of breast milk (it is sufficient) Is it okay to continue this?
