Botox and breastfeeding

[Anonymous]

First off not every woman considering botox is doing it to look younger. I am considering because I have a serious medical condition that is disability me and my doctors are telling me I should go on it due to it having such a low risk factor. Granted I am worried about the effects it could have on my child. It also why I am suffering through my pregnancy.

I don’t want to force her for vanity, but I really need Botox.
Any experience with Botox at the end of nursing?

The first sentence is the bigger problem here. I’m fine with people breastfeeding for as long as they want but to pretend you can’t stop because of what your toddler wants is insanity.

Prior to having my 3rd child I’d agree with you but I weaned her at age 2 last fall and she still attempts to nurse several times a week. I obviously don’t give in (and the well dried up months ago) but I’ve never seen such stubbornness on a child. After weaning my first 2 children at age 2 they forgot about nursing by the next day. All that to say OP, I get it. As far as the Botox goes my OB said she’d never tell someone it’s fine to get it while nursing but then she said “tbh it’s fine”
