Answer: Dysport, Botox and Reloxin Not Injected in Pregnant or Breast-Feeding Women. Yet,no documented serious adverse effects witnessed
Dear Writer, While Dysport, Botox and Reloxin Are Consistently Not Injected in Pregnant or Breast-Feeding Women, there are no proven documented serious adverse effects witnessed in the newborn or lactating baby when this injection has been inadvertently done during these states. This should not mean that this treatment is to be performed routinely in pregnant or lactating women. Rather, because the potential various effects on the baby are Not Known, this should Never be a common practice. My earlier statement serves to give you comfort in the sense that serious adverse events have not been reported to this date. I believe that continuing to pump your breast milk without giving it to the baby for one week, may eliminate most circulating toxin that may reach, via various paths, the breast milk. Feeding the baby formula during those days and then resuming breast-feeding may be acceptable, but I'd advise you to consult your pediatrician or lactation specialist as well. Best of luck and enjoy your baby!!

Answer: Breastfeeding and Neurotoxins
It is not recommended to have Dysport or Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding. The effects are unknown only because there are no studies on breastfeeding/pregnancy and neurotoxins. I would just recommend you stop breastfeeding as a precaution. Your injector should have taken a thorough history and advised you against this procedure until after you stopped breastfeeding. Please try not to worry and enjoy your baby. If you have further concerns you could advise your pediatrician of the situation and they can monitor.
