Question 1

can breast feeding women take yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)?

Accepted Answer

Probably : Hormonal birth control might affect milk supply, so it's best to use a non-hormone method, like a copper iud. Birth control that doesn't have estrogen, like Nexplanon implants or the mini pill, is probably better than a regular pill like yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol). If you start on birth control with hormones, keep track of how much milk you are making, and consider another method if it decreases.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

OKI: Oki is a NSAID and can be taken with breast feeding.

Question 3

im breast feeding  can i take cough medicine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Medications like Mucinex (guaifenesin) are probably safe in breast feeding.

Question 4

i'm breast feeding can i take vit c 1g/ 5ml vit c ampule intravenously to improve my skin? i heard that certain amount of vit c goes to baby via milk?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can take this with no harm to your baby.  Vitamin c is readily absorbed through the intestine, so why do you need to inject it and who is doing that for you?   There is little evidence for benefits of vitamin c on the skin however.

Question 5

Question 6

my son is 2 years old. but he is not interested to eating food. he take breast feeding. he is under weight & his weight is 10.5 kg now. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

4 meals a day: Picky eaters are hard to deal with. In general, do not let him nibble constantly. Rather feed him 3 meals plus a bedtime snack. Give him choices but never limit the volume of any food. The objective is to create an appetite and that is only done if he will eat volume and expand his stomach. Then patiently wait a month and see. If that does not work u will need him evaluated by a pediatrician.

Question 7

my 6 w old baby recently had good rest only when fed with my pumped milk in bottle but when breast feed it takes hours and hours. why? is it problem?

Accepted Answer

Baby satisfied: Sounds like maybe the baby has latch issues on the breast and may not be getting as much to eat on the breast as when you gave the bottle. Baby may have some weak suck muscles that make breast feeding harder. Is there a lactation consultant in your area>? That would help so much! you may also benefit form an oral motor evaluation. Good question.

Question 8

she is 10 month old but she still does not has her first teeth she just takes breast feeding and foods prescribe some multivitamin to giver her

Accepted Answer

Still early: you can wait up to age 1 year or beyond to see the first tooth erupting so long she is well fed and otherwise developing normally. Keep the well baby visits and don't miss her immunizations, her diet looks fine, no need for vitamins

Question 9

breastfeeding wife of 3 week old has food poisoning (diarrhea, some vomiting). pediatrician said ok to breast feed. what can wife take?

Accepted Answer

Breastfeeding: Your wife should be staying hydrated most importantly.  Drinking plenty of fluids/Gatorade is important.  Don't take any Immodium, you want whatever is in you out of you, and not trap the organism in you.  Bigger question is this a stomach bug or actual food poisoning, which if latter then what kind of food poisoning bc that will dictate if you need treatment or not.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Teething: The baby is probably starting to get teeth. Teething is a very common cause of the signs you mentioned above. :)
