Hello
I have had RA since childhood and used Enbrel now for almost 10 years till I got pregnant. Now my son is 6 months old and I have to start my medication again since the RA symptoms have come back My doctor here says it is safe to breastfeed while taking Enbrel but I'm still concerned if I do harm for my baby. So I would like to know whether there is any new information or data about Enbrel's effects on breastfed infant? Is it really safe to start Enbrel again? I have been thinking to give up breastfeeding because of this fear, and its making me feel really sad if I really have to do it because mother's milk is the best for the baby.
I'm writing from Finland so please forgive me my language mistakes!
