Breast milk is supply and demand; therefore, if she’s breast feeding then her body is making just enough for required feedings. How will she pump enough in advance to send with the child? She won’t. If she pumps and saves the milk one weekend, it will spoil before next weekend.

No, it will not, as long as it is kept below 33 degrees.
You can pump in between feedings to store some for future feedings. Also, you can freeze it for later...keeping it from spoiling before the following weekend.
She can start pumping and her body will make more to meet the additional demand. In a few days the lactation karma will be in balance.
Breast milk can be frozen. Unfortunately, pumping doesn’t always work for everyone.
