Dear Mom,
For your attention, a special letter from one of the greatest halachic judges:
The Gaon R. Yitzhak Zilberstein of Lithuania, in which he was instructed to use the electric pumps on Shabbat Kodesh to begin with, when operating in a change - with the back of the hand.
Remember that breast milk is the healthiest food for the baby.
We are here at your disposal, to assist you and answer any questions related to breastfeeding and pumping milk.
For any halachic question, you can contact the rabbi of the hospital, Rabbi Asher Labi, by phone: 052-7638084
Wishing you good health
The N.I.C.U Staff and the Rabbi of the Hospital
