If you are trapped in a cave and are a breastfeeding mother, will you live longer?

This is a really strange question, I know... but I can't help but ask! LOL
If you are trapped in a cave by yourself, and are a breastfeeding mother, are your chances of survival longer? This is assuming that you can drink your own breastmilk for survival. I know this is werid, but what do you think?

lol...i said to my husband once "if we ever get lost in the bush, i could keep us all going with my breastmilk"...then he pointed out to me that i wouldn't be making much milk without any food or water to have myself.

I understand the assimilation here.
Think of it this way, if you were stranded in a desert, drinking our own pee would increase how long you would survive because you are introducing fluids to your body.

HOwever, they will eventually run out, as will breastmilk, if new fluids are not introduced.

Maybe, breast milk is the best stuff on planet earth for babies why not mommies, but this is a sick question!

no, you have to eat and drink water in order to produce breastmilk

haha is the baby with you?

i say yes either way.
