Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use DDIG? Is DDIG safe for nursing mother and child? Does DDIG extracts into breast milk? Does DDIG has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can DDIG influence milk supply or can DDIG decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About DDIG usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of DDIG during breastfeeding. If DDIG is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because no information is available on the use of DDIG during breastfeeding caution should be used, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
