it will not be harmful for you, only some discomfort. but yes, it will mean baby will be losing her chance of breastfeeding... do try to express whenever you can... like when you require to use a restroom, or at night, anytime, somehow, do try...

thanks sheeba. I hope I am able to express. I don't know what my circumstances will be. if I am not able to express...milk will stop. I hope stopping express milk will not be harmful to me.. as my baby is very small.

Dear mom, it is a very sad situation. But please express your milk as long as you are away from baby. If you don't express, your body will get the signal that milk is no longer required and production will drop. please don't feel guilty, it is because you cannot avoid it, right...
