I had a friend who was told to pump and treat the milk with lactase drops and then nurse. She went back to work when her daughter was 8 weeks old and she ended up weaning her to lactose free formula. I found this out after the fact and at that point I wasn't about to second guess her. But I have wondered why she couldn't have just given the drops to the baby between nursings instead?
