A. Good morning, If you have diabetes you may be concerned about whether you can breastfeed. The answer is yes. All mothers experience metabolic and hormonal changes after giving birth. A mother with diabetes who breastfeeds has an advantage as breastfeeding reduces the impact of these changes. Most medications used to treat diabetes or insulin resistance can be safely used during nursing, but be sure to check with your doctor. The insulin molecule itself is too large to pass from your blood stream into your breast milk and it would be digested in baby's stomach if any did pass through.
