A member asked:
Is it safe to receive celestone steroid epidural injection in the neck while breastfeeding? how long should you wait to breastfeed after a treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short term use fine: A single injection is generally not considered a contraindication for BF . Steroids are stress hormones we make naturally & are sometimes given to infants. No delay is required. This is a long acting product that will remain in effect over several days.
