Can I nurse a week after getting Botox?

Asked By:mcnire23 in Cary, NC

I stopped breastfeeding my daughter 10 days ago. 3 days later I got 15 units of Botox. My milk has come back in full force. I have had to pump to ease the pain. Can I give this milk to my 1 year old or is it too risky one week later?
