Does breastfeeding provide any protection from ms flare ups?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Many women see a disappearance of MS symptoms during pregnancy. These symptoms return within the first 6 months after giving birth. Several studies suggest that exclusive breastfeeding may delay this relapse. This may be due to changes in the hormones related to ovulation/menstruation which can be suppressed during breastfeeding. Important: many MS medications cannot be used while pregnant/BFing
