Girls, Would it be dangerous for my baby if I start taking diet pills while still breastfeeding? But only "part time"?

[bosslovelycourtney]

My baby is going on 7 months and I still breastfeed him, he doesn't rely on only breast milk because he eats other foods and only drinks milk in the morning and when he goes to sleep. But I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to start taking diet pills to help out with getting my body back. I just wanted to make sure it won't harm him if I started taking the pills? 😕

[BellePepper]

Yes it could be dangerous. You don't know what's in them and the industry is completely unregulated. I wouldn't risk it at all. He'll keep you busy enough that you'll loose the weight as long as you stay active.

I think that it would affect him because whatever you put in your body goes into the baby when breast feeding and pregnancy are going on. Why dont you try other things instead of diet pills.

[Lalaxoxo_soso]

Any kind of medication you put in your body will show up in the breast milk so its always suggested to wait until the baby has completely stopped drinking breast milk before taking anything like that.

Diet pills are bad for your own body let alone going into your baby's system. Don't use!

[ButtHoleSandwich]

by the way breastfeeding burns 500 calories per day and helps you get your body back. I recommend contacting you IBCLC and see what is best for you. I am re lactating for the 4th time lol

[LonelyLillie13]

how do you re-lactate?

[ButtHoleSandwich]

@LonelyLillie13 oh there's are plenty of ways to. First have baby at breasts as often as possible and lots of skin to skin contact. Pumping every 2 hours for roughly 15 mins. You can add in fenugreek, brewers yeast, milk thisle which can help but it did not work for me so I went the medicine route and took domperidine. It's not FDA approved here ( because an elderly person died of the IV version) so I had to order it overseas. Works wonders and was recommended to me by my ibclc

[LonelyLillie13]

wow that is brave i dont think i have the guts to do that. With the fenugreek did you have any side effects, i was thinking of trying it for breast size, im pretty flat.

It's best if you don't take anything like that while breastfeeding Bc ur baby will ingest it. They're bad for you so it's gonna be horrible for the baby. You'll get in shape, you don't need those chemicals to do it

[GirlsLie]

The majority of diet pills are so horrible, please don't do that lol. Just eat right, exercise and take care of yourself.

[sagari]

Don't do that, wait till the baby turns 2. Then you would not have to breast feed him/her.

Diet pills are seriously bad for you, some people end up paralyzed and some people are even fatal. Don't take them ever

[Marisolcaradona]

I wouldn't risk your baby's health never hurts to find out from an actual doctor

[Anonymous]

Talk to your doctor before taking any kinda pills where your baby is considered...

[lime_rampljuset]

[Neko_Chan]

I wouldn't risk it.
