How Long Before My Milk Goes?

[Quootiepie]

Hiya,
I'm 99.9999% going on medication tomorrow, so, have been cutting down on breastfeeding, + DS has been biting REALLY badly (every feed, drawing blood). My last feed I think was midday yesterday, been cutting down by about a feed a day without really thinking about it. How long before my milk goes, just in case?

Many Thanks xXx

Is it medication you definitely can't breastfeed on?

I mean, have you checked with the BFN Drugline or somewhere that actually knows, rather than relying on someone who doesn't actually know about bfeeding.

Yep, im pretty certain it's not going to be BFing safe... The medication I was on was questionable, and, the dose of that alone is going up possibly by x 5.

You could "pump and dump" where you express but don't keep the milk. Therefore sustaining your supply for a little bit.

I did mixed feeding -expressed and also formula fed and my milk lasted for several weeks (I was reducing it purposely)

Im on medication that is BFing safe.... but haven't fed for a day or so... can I resume abit of BFing? Ive done one feed last night.
