How long after abortion can I breastfeed?

Some mothers undergo abortion while breastfeeding.

How long can I breastfeed after a miscarriage?

You can breastfeed after a painless abortion during the lactation period, but you must pay attention to rest after the operation. Just like after giving birth, you need to take a month-long confinement period. During this period, you should not be too tired, catch a cold, etc. You should pay attention to nutritional supplements. You should not have sexual intercourse within another month, and take good contraceptive measures within half a year to avoid pregnancy again, because the uterus has not fully recovered during this period. However, if you choose medical abortion, you have to stop breastfeeding your baby and wait until the entire medical abortion is completed before breastfeeding. In addition, women's bodies are relatively weak after abortion, and if you breastfeed, you must pay more attention to nutritional supplements.

How to care during breastfeeding

(1) During the lactation period, the mother should ensure adequate nutrition to meet the physiological needs of both mother and child. Otherwise, the mother may produce less milk, which may affect the growth and development of the baby, consume too much body fat, become thin, and eventually have breast atrophy.

(2) Breastfeeding mothers should maintain a good mental state, be in a good mood, lead a regular life, get enough sleep, and avoid mental stimulation and negative emotions that may lead to poor milk secretion and excretion.

(3) If you have sex during breastfeeding, you must take contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy.

Most women do not want to have another baby during breastfeeding, so if they have sex, they must take contraceptive measures to avoid harm to the body if they get pregnant and then have an abortion. In addition, if you have an artificial abortion during breastfeeding, it generally will not have much impact on the baby's breastfeeding. You just need to pause it for a few days.
