I would like to know why i need a prescription when i wish to stop breastfeeding ?

Ancient treatment: The use of prescription meds to stop breastfeeding was common 2-3 decades ago. The medications can do harm and are thus regulated for patient safety. They are seldom used any more since weaning often goes better without drugs.

Breastfeeding Rx: The only reason I can think of why you might need a prescription would be to justify a prescription for another medication that you might need to take because you stopped breastfeeding. An insurance company may need evidence before covering a prescription for a medication that you did not need to take while you were breastfeeding.

You do not: You may need a prescription to stop lactation soon after delivery. You do not need a prescription if you breast feed your baby for a few months. Wish you and your baby good health! For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
