Breastfeeding in ectopic pregnancy

[nicholec]

Pumping and discarding for 4 days after receiving methotrexate is our recommendation. Toddlers get much less milk per day in relation to their body weight as compared with infants and they are better able to tolerate incidental medication exposure. Given that you waited 17 days, it is highly unlikely that your baby will experience any complications.
