Mother-Ed: Breast Milk And Drug Ingestion - Pigeon Kenya

Breast milk and drug ingestion

Make sure to only use the appropriate drugs during breastfeeding.

Drugs taken by the mother usually get mixed with breast milk and then enter the baby’s system to some extent.

Most of the drugs taken during breastfeeding are safe, not causing any harm to the breast milk and are safe for both the mother and the baby. The risks of drugs affecting the baby are far less than the advantages of breastfeeding for him. It is good to consult with a specialist about the pros and cons of stopping breastfeeding because of drugs because the risks depend on the amount of drug being used and its kind as well.
