Need advice pls
My Dr and a breastfeeding Dr have assured me and made me feel quite pressured that I should breastfeed and it’ll be totally safe. However I am really apprehensive as I take ALOT of medication and I am going to be starting more medication after the birth of baby.
I am currently taking:
Inhixa
Bisoprolol
Nifedipine
Metformin
Amitriptyline
I will be starting humira.
It just feels like I would be pumping my baby full of unnecessary drugs.
I am also deficient in vitamin D, vitamin B12 and iron because I have bile salts malabsorption. Which I will also be starting a different medication for. Surely I won’t be giving my baby what she needs. Any opinions are welcome. I am feeling like a terrible mum already for not wanting to breastfeed.

It's totally your choice. do what's right for you and baby, no pressure at all x
Sorry they made you feel that way but if you don't want to for any reason then don't. You really don't have to breastfeed your child I have 5 and one on the way and i only breast feed the last two an will with this one but the first 3 I just didn't want too no one should be making you feel like you have too it's totally up to you

Sending care and best wishes. In my opinion. If you don't want to don't. There is nothing that says you have to. If you want to try, then that is fine too.
