Hi Jane
Turn this request back on your hn.  Ask her to provide evidence that
expressing milk can have deleterious effects for mothers.  You can then
provide her with the evidence that NOT expressing early and often will
likely have deleterious effects on the mothers' milk supply, could lead to
mastitis and therefore sepsis, and that the baby will be at increased risk
of NEC, sepsis etc if s/he does not have sufficient human milk and is
therefore exposed to non-human milk.
