So yesterday we had an accident with my husband and I needed morning after pill. Went to the pharmasist and I told them I am still breastfeeding my 14 months old son. Mostly night time and a few times during the day. He eats everything now so not breastmilk is the number 1 food for him. When I got the pill I asked again if it's safe to takr and she said yes, take it asap and feed only the nightime then. I got home, read the leaflet and I see it's says no breastfeeding for a week after the pill taken?? 😳😳 so what should I do now? I don't want give up breastfeeding because of this. Will harm my baby? Why the pharmasist said it's okay to take f the leaflet says this? :( heeelp

breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk/fact-sheet/ulipristal-acetate-ellaone-as-an-emergency-hormonal-contraceptive-and-breastfeeding don't knownif this helps

Think its more an issue with lack of data rather than it being harmful

The other morning after pill is ok while breastfeeding from what I have read. EllaOne has insufficient data

It's just so weird for me they giving this one out for breastfeeding moms if there's not enough data of it. I took it, and I'll feed baby as usual when it comes to night time, hopefully will be okay.. :( thank you for your answers

Could I ask if everything was okay because I’ve just done the same with my baby and am seriously stressing

I’m also in the same predicament. Was all ok with your baby?
