A member asked:
Is there any way to know if berberine is safe while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not take: It is LIKELY UNSAFE to take berberine if you are breast-feeding. Berberine can be transferred to the infant through breast milk, and it might cause harm. Kernicterus, a type of brain damage, has developed in newborn infants exposed to berberine. You should not take berberine during breastfeeding.
