Is it safe to breastfeed while consuming alcohol?

Can I breastfeed while having alcoho

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

It is generally recommended to avoid consuming alcohol while breastfeeding, as alcohol can pass into breast milk and affect your baby. Even small amounts of alcohol can potentially be harmful to a nursing infant. When you consume alcohol, it enters your bloodstream, and some of it will be present in your breast milk. As a result, your baby will consume the alcohol when they breastfeed. Infants metabolize alcohol at a slower rate than adults, which means it can take longer for their bodies to eliminate it.

Alcohol consumption while breastfeeding can have several negative effects on your baby. And the safest approach for your baby's health is to abstain from alcohol while breastfeeding.

Iam 20 year female, I have a 26 day menstrual cycle. Every month 11th I have my menstrual period. This month 10th I had an unprotected Sex and it was my first sex. On 11th I didn't get my menstrual period. On 12th afternoon at 3 pm I took levonorgestrel pill. After that on 13th I felt dizziness and from 2 days iam frequently urinating. Now today the date is 16th it's been 5 days I have put on the pill. But I didn't get menstrual period. Iam very afraid. I don't want to get pregnant. Iam unmarried. Please check my situation.

The indications of instability, as well as frequent urination, are the side effects that come with the intake of a levonorgestrel pill, in some cases. One of the repercussions of this pill is an alteration in your menstrual cycle, i.e., a late period. More often than not, it is a typical reaction to developed bleeding, i.e., the moment after the pill is consumed when the period is expected. Keep a cool head and try to avoid getting stressed out, because stress has an impact on your period. If you did not have your period after the first week or two, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test to be 100% sure.

Mera delivery date nikl gyi or doctor bole ki bache ke Gale me 3 naal fasi he kya meri normal delivery ho sakti h

Female | 24

If the doctor says there are three cords around the baby's neck, it's called a nuchal cord. This is a common occurrence and is usually not dangerous. To ensure the delivery goes smoothly, the doctor will monitor the baby closely to make sure there are no complications. Most babies with a nuchal cord are born healthy. So, stay optimistic and follow the doctor's instructions carefully.

Is it possible two days after sexual intercourse to test if you are pregnant?

Female | 42

PREGNANCY TESTS can detect pregnancy hormones 2 weeks after conception. It's unlikely to detect pregnancy within 2 days post-sex!!! A wait of at least 1 week after missed period ideal... Using test kits too early may give false negative results. CONSULT a doctor if pregnancy suspected for accurate testing.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare

Female | 25

After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person. 

In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

Have heavy discharg after periods every month for continuous days Colour - whitish yellow Heavy sticky and sometimes liquid like watery Strong odour fishy smell and itching Many times that private portion swelling during discharge I fell

You might have a problem with BV. In this case, when there is a loss of balance between positive and negative bacteria in your vagina, it causes the said symptoms. To help, instead of using chemically scented soap in the infected area, you can use mild soap, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid douching. If the symptoms worsen, seeking a gynecologist for additional advice is highly recommended to ensure you get the right care.
