A. you can and should plan to breastfeed for at least six months. Breastfed babies have lower risk of developing type 1 diabetes and becoming overweight or obese later in life, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.Medications like metformin and insulin are safe to take while breastfeeding. La Leche League International further explains that insulin molecules are “too large” to pass through breast milk to the baby. That said, you may need to work with your care team to adjust your dose after pregnancy and during breastfeeding.An infant of a mother with diabetes is a baby who is born to a mother with diabetes. Because the mother has diabetes, the baby is at risk for problems. People with diabetes have high levels of sugar in their blood (hyperglycemia). Over time, this can lead to serious health problems.
