Patient's question:
Breastfeeding, I took birth control pills at 6:30 AM yesterday morning, then at 9:30 PM the baby kept crying, so I fed the baby. Then at 3:30 AM in the middle of the night, I changed the diaper. Does this interfere with the baby?Doctor's answer:
Although the mother has taken medication, only a very small portion can be excreted in breast milk, so generally it does not cause much interference to the child. However, it is best to avoid breastfeeding immediately after taking medication. If she has taken birth control pills, it is advisable to express and discard the milk within 24 hours of taking the medication. After 24 hours, breastfeeding can be resumed safely.The above advice is for the question "Breastfeeding after taking birth control pills yesterday at 6:30 AM." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
