Can a pregnant woman breastfeed while receiving intravenous drip for anti-inflammatory treatment?

It is well known that a woman's body is very weak after giving birth and she is very prone to illness. Many new mothers will breastfeed their children while they are taking anti-inflammatory injections. Many people do not recommend this situation, believing that it affects the child's health. So, can a mother who has just given birth breastfeed while receiving intravenous drip for anti-inflammatory treatment?

First, can a mother breastfeed while receiving intravenous drip for anti-inflammatory treatment? An IV drip is an infusion. It depends on what medicine you are infusing. Generally speaking, an infusion will cause the drug concentration in the blood to reach a peak quickly. Generally speaking, as long as the drug is completely eliminated from the human body, it can be fed. Commonly used drugs can be excreted from the body within three days. The anti-inflammatory injection will not have any impact, so don't worry. It should be fine to wait a little longer, for example, half an hour before feeding your baby.

Second, if it is just common cold medicine, you can breastfeed normally and the impact will not be too big. Colds and fevers are a kind of protective effect on the body. They will not affect the baby's breastfeeding and have no effect on breast milk. You just need to be careful when using the medicine. Some medicines that are harmful to children should be used as little as possible. Common cold medicines have no effect and can be used with confidence. The child can breastfeed. You can’t breastfeed if you have a fever, so stop breastfeeding when you have a fever and receive intravenous drip. Wait until your body temperature returns to normal and stop the infusion treatment for one day before resuming breastfeeding, but you should express your milk regularly to prevent milk regurgitation.

Can a mother who has just given birth breastfeed while receiving intravenous drip for anti-inflammatory treatment? Generally speaking, you can start breastfeeding your child 7 days after stopping the anti-inflammatory injection. You can now use a breast pump to express your milk. Generally, women after giving birth should not breastfeed their children immediately after receiving an IV drip, for fear that it will indirectly affect the child's development and health. It is recommended to feed the child with formula milk first, which is beneficial to the child's health. Generally speaking, cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs can enter the baby's body through breast milk, causing intestinal flora imbalance and resulting in indigestion, diarrhea, etc., so breastfeeding should be suspended and the baby should be fed with milk powder first.
