A member asked:
I gave birth to my daughter in september and she is still breastfeeding. would like to use victoza for weight loss purposes and need to know if there are any risks to my little one.

I wouldn't: We have little if any data on it's use during breastfeeding on whether it crosses in the breast milk & interferes with babies metabolism. As such I would never recommend it's use during breast feeding. Weight loss can be accomplished naturally during BF if you consume a diet designed to sustain your pre-pregnancy weight & not "eat for two". A consult with a clinical dietitian could make this easy.
