Prescribed the digestive enzyme chymoral for a breastfeeding mother. will it cause the baby any harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: These products are just complex proteins that may help digestion. Your body filters/uses and eventually digests these. The few studies available on similar products show little or no transfer in the breastmilk.They are simply another protein source from the vantage point of breast feeding.
