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.

Answer: Nursing. There's no data to show if this is safe or not. However, your Botox most likely is no longer circulating through your body and has permanently bonded with the receptor in the junction between the muscle and nerve. I suggest you do not breast feed any more until you get medical advice from your OB or physician injector.

Answer: 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. Thanks for your question and what you are seeing here is that we all have had patients get pregnant with Botox on board and there are no problems associated with it – but we don’t recommend that pregnant women or those breast-feeding get Botox because there are no FDA clinical studies on it and there never will be. The fact that you are breast-feeding is a decision you need to make and if you do, I am sure your OB or your child’s pediatrician will be fine with it.
