Morning all
I'm hoping someone out there in the wonderful world of mums net has some good advice for me.
I'm 13 weeks with my 1st child. I was diagnosed with MS fairly recently and don't really know anyone else of a similar age/situation as me.
My question is to do with breastfeeding.
Essentially my MS Nurse explained that quite often ladies have a relapse about 3 months after birth. So they advise new mums not to breast feed. Rather, they should formula feed and go back on their meds. To get them back in system.
I hadn't really thought too much about this other than "will try to but if needs must will bottle feed". Have family who's dc's had major food intolerances from get go. Needing special formula etc so I'm quite relaxed in that way. (As in I understand that sometimes it just doesn't work out the way the powers that be think it should).
I completely understand what my nurse is saying but I was wondering what other MS mums think? Or anyone actually.
Thanks in advance
