I was given a shot of methotrexate and a treatment of misoprostol due to an ectopic pregnancy, can I keep breastfeeding my 2.10 years old toddler or should I stop for a while?, thanks!

I would not suggest you breastfeed following the use of Methotrexate. It could be hazardous to the infant.
If this is just one dose, then perhaps a waiting period of 48 hours before returning to breastfeeding would be quite safe. But if she is to take more, then you need to be careful not to breastfeed while this drug is being used.
