Hi Megha, on the contrary. infact, as i was told my by own gynaecologists, the more the body produces/expresses milk, the more it is stimulated to produce milk. so infact, expressing milk is a good idea as it will stimulate the glands to produce more milk and also relieve any undue pain and pressures in the breasts. hope this helps.
