Patient's question:
Gender: FemaleAge: 24
I have had my daughter for 8 months, and my period used to come on the 6th of each month. However, it hasn't arrived on November 6th, and it's been delayed by more than 10 days. Could you please tell me if my milk is still safe for the baby to eat? Is it possible that I'm pregnant? I haven't noticed any symptoms, but I'm a bit worried about pregnancy and concerned about the baby's health.
Doctor's answer:
General advice for weaning babies is that it's appropriate between six months and one year. After this period, the nutrition may not be as balanced and suitable for the baby, potentially not meeting their needs.The process of medication during an abortion requires attention to timing—it should not be too early. During this period, milk should be expressed to prevent milk retention, and breastfeeding can continue afterward. If the baby is eating complementary foods well, breastfeeding may no longer be necessary. Rest and adequate nutritional supplementation should be ensured to support better uterine recovery. As long as milk production does not decrease, breastfeeding will not be affected. If production does decrease, it can be addressed through lactation stimulation and acupressure massage.
