I had Botox injected, thinking I was done nursing my 13 month old and he is now screaming to nurse and I caved and fed him.

Asked By:kk0310 in Land O Lakes, FL

I hardly produce any more and we only nurse at naptime and bedtime. I had 15units injected between my brows.I didn't nurse him that day at all.He now screams and pulls my shirt to nurse.This breaks my heart because he is my last baby and I'll never nurse again and he is clearly not finished and I feel like I am depriving him.I have nursed him a few times since having the botox. This is tearing me up.I'm so scared that I could harm him and emotionally a wreck because I feel that I jumped the gun.
