Patient's question:
I gradually understood the reality of being ill. I didn't take care of myself properly after giving birth because I was busy with postpartum recovery. As a result, I started experiencing numbness all over my body and shivering when exposed to cold. After a few months, the same symptoms persisted. It wasn't until after he finished his postpartum recovery that someone beside me noticed and realized I was suffering from postpartum epilepsy. Can I breastfeed my baby again if I have another seizure after giving birth? The kind of help I need: Can I breastfeed my baby again if I have another seizure after giving birth? Can I take medication for postpartum epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
For postpartum epilepsy patients, they also face challenges with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is safer for infants. Mothers taking antiepileptic drugs can breastfeed without stopping their medication. Some precautions need to be noted: It is recommended that you consult with your doctor before deciding how to change the mother's diaper to understand the precautions. Whether you choose breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, you should pay attention to how your baby cries during breastfeeding, inability to suck, and low weight. If any of these occur, you should take your baby to see a doctor. This can help reduce the baby's symptoms, and taking vitamin B6 together can also be helpful.
