Hello,
I just have a few questions about breasfeeding while on remicade. I am a 30 year old and this is my first pregnancy. I received my last remicade at 24 weeks and I am currently 33 weeks and I won't receive another dose until after I give birth. My question is should I pump and discard my milk after I receive my injection? and if so for how long should i do this until i can breastfeed again.
I have read I should pump and discard for 4 days after I give birth because of the colostrum phase, does this mean we supplement with formula for this time? Subsequently what about later on injections?
Thank you
