Wait for 2days: You should breast feed your baby after 72 hours of taking taking postinor ,in mean time continue  formula feeding.If your baby  is 4 month old or more give him some cereals mixed with formula, baby may like thhe taste

Question 2

how long should someone wait to breastfeed there baby after using meth?

Accepted Answer

Don't breastfeed: American college of obstretics and gynecology recommends that mothers actively using meth should not breastfeed. If you are asking this question about yourself, please seek help for your addiction as soon as possible - your recovery is critical to your child's chance of having a decent life.

Question 3

how long do i have to wait to breastfeed my baby after a general anaesthetic?

Accepted Answer

4 hours at most: Most general anesthetic is eliminated through the lungs and little remains behind that might make it into breast milk. That said, the best resource I have recommends a 4 hour period of pump/dump before resuming breast feeding. See: Hale,T,Medications and Mothers Milk,15ed,2012.

Question 4

how long do i have to wait to breastfeed my baby, if i'm drinking cold medication? my baby is 5 month old, and i have a really bad cold.  i want to drink cold medication, and giving him formula, but don't know how long do i have to wait before, breastfeed

Accepted Answer

It : It depends on the cold medication you are taking.  The other warning I have to give you is that many cold medicines are designed to dry up your secretions.  This is good for a runny nose, but bad for breast feeding since they will also dry up your milk a bit.  You may want to call your ob/gyne or your child's pediatrician to discuss what medications are best for you to take while breast feeding.  Or you may want to avoid medication all together and use other remedies such as hot tea/broth, honey, and a humidifier.  Good luck!

Question 5

i'm doing varicose vein injections on tues and wed. how long do i have to wait to breastfeed my baby? i have a milk stash so i can wait.a week or two.

Accepted Answer

Breast feed: discuss with the varicose vein Dr. I would wait till finished breast feeding as may go away the further away you are from pregnancy.

Question 6

how long to wait to breastfeed after taking baby aspirin?

Accepted Answer

None: You can breast feed with Aspirin in take.  If it is of concern use tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin.

Question 7

i just need to know can babies overfeed themselves? i breastfeed probably every 2-3 hours when i can tell baby wants to eat sometimes she wants to a little earlier. she is 2 months. her dr says to wait 3-4 hours and she's gaining weight too quickly?

Accepted Answer

: I don't believe breast fed babies overfeed, but don't have access to its records to comment much. Babies do go through growth spirts and may feed more often some times than others. They can also use feeding as nurturing/cuddling so I encourage moms to be sure not to feed just before bedding them down. That can pattern them to feed just to re- sleep if they wake.

Question 8

is  there a  way  for  a  woman  to  breastfeed an infant  not  of  her  own  ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The term "wet nurse" applied to those whose primary employment in the eighteen hundreds was as surrogate to women who could not or chose not to breast feed their kids.It happens occasionally today, mostly within close nit family systems.Docs can induce lactation in those wanting to do so.

Question 9

is it ever better to not breastfeed an infant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sometimes a mom: is on a medication that is not safe for the baby; in that case breastfeeding would be contraindicated. There are also some times that a woman isn't able to produce enough milk for physical or emotional reasons. There also may be some infections which could be passed onto a baby during breastfeeding. Sometimes, in those cases, the milk can be pumped and discarded until that is out of mom's system.

Question 10

can eating too much sugar effect my breastfeed babies poo?

Accepted Answer

2much sugar!: First of all you should not over indulge in sweets, you child's bms are not dependent on your blood sugar levels but certain foods in mom's diet tend to cause diarrhea in babies.
