I am a mother of a 6.5 Month old baby boy and my rheumatoligist wants me to wean him so that I can start back on Methotrexate for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dose would be 20mg once a week. I would like to continue to breastfeed, would there be a possibility of pumping & dumping for a period of time after each weekly dose?
Thanks so much!
