Hello,
I currently have an ectopic pregnancy that needs to be addressed. Tomorrow I will most likely be getting an injection of methotrexate. My issue is that I have been getting mixed information about wether breastfeeding after getting this injection is safe or not. The OB that will be giving me the injection has said that I should not breastfeed for 3 months after (the same time that you are not supposed to conceive after receiving the injection) but the nurse I have been working with said that their pharmacist said to her that newer studies show that it is safe after a very short time to continue breastfeeding. I would love to have this subject cleared up a bit for me, as my daughter is nowhere near ready to wean. She just turned 1.
