Avatar f tn Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether promethazine passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Older adults may be more likely to have side effects from promethazine." Zofran/Ondansetron is also used in pregnancy. I felt safe using this during pregnancy as I have known more women who have used it without any problems.
Avatar f tn Atenolol is pregnancy category D and it also passes through breast milk. It should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to do so. Micardis is pregnancy category C (during first trimester) and D (during 2nd and 3rd trimester) and it enters breast milk. It should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor tells you to do so. I recommend you talk to your doctor about your situation before making any changes.

Avatar f tn Hi mums! I'm currently 20wks with baby number 4 and thinking about breastfeeding vs formula. My 1st baby was born at 27wks and I expressed for 9 weeks with the help of medication as my milk supply was low. Baby number 2 was full term and I breast fed and expressed plus the help of medication for about 7 weeks and gave up then due to low supply. Baby number 3 was full term and again I fought for about 5 weeks with expressing, breastfeeding and medication before I gave up.
Avatar f tn I was given medication to help my milk flow as my daughter was born at 24 weeks and could only use breast milk as to not rupture her bowels but my milk supply hadnt kicked in.
Avatar m tn my doctor discontinued risperdal because it caused milk in my breast. that was june 8.......... well i still got milk in my breast.... now what?
Avatar f tn I think it is quite normal. I lost my boy at 19 weeks and had a lot of breast milk and extremely sore and swollen breasts for the first 2 weeks and still get small amounts around my ovulation now. I now how upseting this can be at such a sad time for you. I bought some breast pads to soak up the milk and tried not to over-stimulate my breasts ie going under the shower.
1191262 tn?1366763021 Most websites say that it is not recommended to breastfeed as it is not well nown if the medication passes to the maternal milk...This idea stresses me. Do you have any thoughts or information regarding this aspect? Thanks in advance. P.S: My ObGyn who knows nothing I assume about liver deseases said it is probably safe as even though it passes through, it will just protect the baby more? The thing is, this medication is not prescribed for babies...? I really don't know what to think.
Avatar n tn would a woman be able to squeeze breast milk out of her breast when she is one month pregnant?
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, I'm 27 weeks with my first baby and unfortunately due to medication i can't breast feed. What will happen to the milk i naturally produce? Will i need a breast pump to 'empty' myself? for want of a better phrase!! Lol.
7381226 tn?1394931519 I plan on breastfeeding again, with my last child I did but only for about 3mths I had some medical problems which had me on certain medication that lead my breast milk to be unsafe for baby. I know I'll most likely have to pump since I did last time because my milk supply was pretty good and had to pump when baby wasn't hungry. I had a evenflo breath pump and it was horrible, what pump has worked best for y'all breastfeeding mothers?
Avatar f tn If you have sores on your nipple or areola (darker skin around the nipple), you should stop breastfeeding on that breast. Pump or hand express your milk from that breast until the sore clears. Pumping will help keep up your milk supply and prevent your breast from getting engorged or overly full. You can store your milk to give to your baby in a bottle for another feeding.

Avatar f tn Im just wondering if the HCG medication will affect my 9 month old nursed daughter. I still have my milk and I've freezed a lot but she is still attached to the breast. I've been on the diet 6 days and I've seen no change in her eating playing she's gained and not lost weight hasn't been fussy so no tummy ache. I've asked 2 nurses who were NO help and said ask an OB and an online dr who said the hcg was to thick to go throw Breastmilk.

Avatar n tn The doctor said she is losing lactate/something that is usefull in creating breast milk. Now the doctor says he is not confirmed what happened so he opts for Mammography test. I have done a little study in internet and found it's done to find out breast cancer.. So, i'm really affraid.. Can you plz tell me whether she can have breast cancer because of multiple dose of I-Pill?? Please help. ** After she took first I-Pill she faced menstrual issues.
Avatar f tn Yes my dr said taking it with milk is not best the milk actually affects the viyamins h are digesting. She told me that when taking ur pill drink water then when it comes to milk you can drink it when ever she said to stick with fat free or skim if u drink alot due to addjng additional weight u dont need and will have post pregnancy.
5612058 tn?1373576034 Enough wet and poopy diapers and if the baby is thriving. Breastfeeding is a supply and demand thing so just let baby eat and you will produce enough. Make sure you drink water and stay hydrated.
Avatar f tn When I had my baby my doctor told me that more medication goes through the fetus than goes through breast milk and not to worry about having to take a particular medication while nursing.
Avatar f tn When do breast milk starts coming out the breast I had my baby on the 29th no milk still
2177976 tn?1342045640 When ur milk does come in, the 1st stuff that comes out when the baby nurses is sort of like water which quinces their thirst then they get the milk which fills them up. Ontop of all that ur breast milk is full of antibodies that formula doesn't have.
Avatar f tn If you're totally against breast feeding because of the public aspect, then you can pump and freeze your milk to take on the go if that's what you want to do. Breast milk has so many pro's to it for your baby that I would still suggest pumping and bottle feeding at least for a few months. Nursing for me isn't a big deal but I can see where it would awkward to do it in public.
Avatar n tn Diet — The Key to Prostate Cancer Prevention After examining the diets of 28 countries, one study found that the most common link to prostate cancer was the consumption of milk, especially non-fat milk. In fact, over two-thirds of cases were attributed to milk consumption. The reason appears to be high amounts of calcium, since taking calcium supplements also dramatically increased risk.
