Is Non-cosmetic Botox (For Migraines) Safe During Breastfeeding?

March 12, 2013
Asked By:Angie KS in Carleton Place, Ontario

I have discontinued use during pregnancy (and have been very ill since it wore off). Breastfeeding is a priority to me, however it would be very challenging to have daily migraines while caring for an infant. Is it safe to resume Botox after the baby is born and still breastfeed?
