A. Hi dear, I would suggest u don't breastfeed the baby immediately after you have medicine. Also, it is best to start giving good formula milk to the baby if you are worried about the medicine. my sister in law was in medication due to ill health. So, the doctor suggested her to start Aptamil Gold Stage 1 for her 5-month-old baby. Then we are continuing the same only. because It contains HMOs and prebiotics, and it is closed to breastmilk. I would still suggest you to get in touch with your doctor and get first-hand advice.
