A member asked:

Is it safe to be breastfeeding after being injected with steroids on the legs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: If just one injection, if continuing with legally prescribed nonanabolic steroids, consult your board certified pediatrician, along with the exact name of the steroid.
