Patient's question:
Hello, I just had a medication-induced miscarriage, so I'd like to ask, how many days later can my baby start breastfeeding? Is the initial milk supposed to be expressed before it can be consumed?Doctor's answer:
Yes, generally you need to wait 7 days before continuing to breastfeed. You should use a breast pump or ask your partner to express the milk daily. This not only removes milk containing medication but also stimulates the breasts, ensuring a sufficient milk supply. Otherwise, if you don't express the milk for several days, it will regress.
