Patient's question:
At home, I have a baby who is still breastfeeding, but I have just undergone medication abortion. I always feel a bit upset about the potential negative effects the medication could have on the young child, after all, the child's immunity is still quite weak. I'm wondering, is there any bad effect of breastfeeding the baby during medication abortion?Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding for children is very normal. During the medication abortion period, this practice is strictly prohibited. This is because medication abortion uses highly hazardous chemotherapy drugs, such as mifepristone or misoprostol, which can easily lead to developmental issues in infants. Therefore, breastfeeding is not allowed during medication abortion, and weaning is necessary. Sexual activity during lactation is advisable to use condoms for contraception.
