Anyone on meds and have questions about BFing?
When I was seeing my RE, he put me on metformin (b/c of elevated insulin) and synthroid (b/c of hypothyroidism). I am still on both meds (34 weeks pg). I asked the NP at my last OB appointment about going off the metformin so I can breastfeed. SHe said that they will take me off when I deliver and monitor my insulin afterward to make sure I can live without the metformin. I said okay -- great! But now I am thinking, does this mean I will not be able to BF right away? I will ask at my appointment on Monday... just wondering about any other experiences with this issue. Thanks!
