Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old this year, I am a diabetic, I gave birth to a child yesterday, I don't know if people with diabetes can breastfeed their children, I am worried that the child will not be good if they eat breast milk, I want to ask you, how can diabetics breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can breastfeed, and it has little impact on the child. When suffering from diabetes, during breastfeeding, be careful not to take oral medications that should be avoided during lactation. Pay attention to a low-sugar diet, enhance nutrition, and keep blood sugar within the normal range. Drink more fluids and breastfeed as needed. Diabetic patients are prone to significant blood sugar fluctuations during pregnancy and conception, so it's important to monitor blood sugar levels.
