Can I donate when I am taking medication?

Although almost no medication taken by a lactating parent requires them to stop breastfeeding, and while with very few exceptions, breastfeeding remains better for you and your baby, all medications and vaccinations should be disclosed to recipients.1

Please consult a healthcare provider about any effects that prescription or over-the-counter medications may have on грудне молоко.
