Breastfeeding

Had to pump; what to with the milk?

Im 5 days postpartum (YAY) to a little girl who is jaundiced... This results in her being very sleepy and hard to rouse to feed.  I've been getting in what I can, but as soon as my milk came in I became very engorged.  I pumped yesterday once, and today once, however, now I don't know what to do with that milk.

I dont want to skip a feeding by breast with her because then I will become engorged again, and I don't want my supply to die.

At the same time, I don't want to waste the breastmilk either! I worked hard to make that milk :) 

So what do I do?
