The consequences of breastfeeding after taking a fever-reducing injection

For mothers, there are many things to pay attention to when breastfeeding their babies. As we all know, the food that Bao Ma eats will directly affect the growth and development of the baby. Therefore, Bao Ma cannot eat casually in the diet, and cannot take medicine casually even if she has a fever or a cold. So, can mothers breastfeed after taking antipyretic injections? What are the adverse effects of breastfeeding after taking antipyretic injections?

First of all, it is not recommended for mothers to breastfeed their babies after they have received a fever-reducing injection. If the fever is above 38.5, it is considered a high fever, and there will be some toxins in the breast milk. If the child drinks the milk containing toxins, it is easy to have diarrhea and indigestion. In addition, if the mother's fever is caused by respiratory diseases, it can also be transmitted to the baby through breastfeeding. Therefore, it is best for mothers not to breastfeed their babies after taking the antipyretic injection.

Secondly, because the mother has a fever, it means that the body is infected. At this time, the virus or bacteria will be transmitted to the baby through breast milk. The most common transmission route of fever and cold is respiratory transmission. Even if the mother does not breastfeed, close contact may also infect the baby. Therefore, when the mother has acute or chronic infectious diseases, or suffers from mastitis, breastfeeding should be strictly prohibited.

Finally, it is not recommended for mothers to breastfeed after taking the antipyretic injection, but after taking the medicine, if the fever is gone and there are no other discomforts, you can breastfeed after 24 hours. Whether it is growth hormone or other analgesics, they have already been metabolized and will not cause any impact on the baby. If the antipyretic medicine only has a temporary relieving effect and does not solve the problem at all, you should first cure your illness before talking about breastfeeding. Of course, breast milk needs to be expressed during this period, otherwise it is easy to get acute mastitis.

How long can I wait before breastfeeding after taking the antipyretic injection?

After taking the antipyretic injection, it is recommended to wait 24 hours after the fever has completely subsided before breastfeeding, because at this time the hormones or toxins in the body have been basically metabolized, and the impact on the child has been minimized. Choosing to continue breastfeeding at this time will not affect the child. Therefore, you can safely feed your baby in this case.
