Thank you for the question. You should not receive Botox injections while nursing; however, it is very unlikely that any harm will come to your baby. The Botox usually remains localized at the injection site. It should not go through your blood stream and get into your breast milk. Congratulations with your new baby.
Hi jenny858. Although it's best toerr on the side of caution any time you're thinking of undergoing a medicaltreatment while breastfeeding, occasionally oversights do happen. While theeffects of BOTOX on breastmilk and nursing infants has not been extensivelystudied, most cosmetic BOTOX treatments use such a small, localized dose thatit's unlikely your child will experience any adverse effects. In the meantime,keep a close eye on your baby and contact your obstetrician or pediatrician ifyou have any further questions.
