Answer by Dr. Ru: About EMS usage in lactation
It is not recommended in those cases of heart arrhythmia, while using a pacemaker, epilepsy, pregnancy and childhood (particularly on areas of growth cartilage plates). Despite the fact that electric energy of low voltage and amperage is commonly generated, it would be wise to be cautious by avoiding its use while nursing in order to keep the child from an adverse effect.
