Botox and breastfeeding toddler (2yrs)

April 12, 2017
Asked By:kworon in Canada, ON

Hello, I would like to know if anyone here has given botox injections to breastfeeding moms? I recently got botox injections under my eyes and forehead, but I am not worried that this will affect my toddler who is now two. I am still breastfeeding my toddle and I am worried that it may enter my milk. Can someone please provide me with peace of mind.
