Breastfeeding Helps New Moms with Multiple Sclerosis
Okay, this is really interesting. Turns out if you have MS and you breastfeed your baby, your risk for having a relapse within the first 2 months after giving birth is cut by more than half. However, I have to warn, this is not a guarantee that you won't have a relapse by any means - I dutifully (painfully, fumbling, swearing, crying until I got the hang of it) struggled to breastfeed and still got slammed with a terrible relapse 3 weeks after giving birth. Don't get me wrong - I am a huge advocate of breastfeeding - I continued on after having to "pump and dump" during my Solu-Medrol treatment.
What I will say is that breastfeeding can be a challenge, it can be rewarding, but it is a very individual decision. Read the full blog: Breastfeeding Helps New Moms with Multiple Sclerosis
