Feeding to boy baby while Mom Pregnant
Hi Respective,I'm 23 years old and mother to a 7 month old boy baby. Now I'm pregnant for the second time with normal conception. Kindly advise me on feeding my kid while I'm pregnant. I have heard something about Progesterone will pass through breast milk to my 7 month old boy baby that makes some harmonic problems for my boy baby as it's a female hormone(progesterone). Please confirm does progesterone will pass through breast milk to my baby (7 months old boy baby) and does it cause any problems ?
Note : I'm taking Susten SR 300 tablet
Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

1. As your baby is already 7 months you should start weaning foods for him
2. Although you can breast feed while pregnant, please do ensure good nutritional intake for yourself as both your babies are drawing major nutrition from your body now.
3. Generally for short periods of time the amount of exogenously given pregesterone which is passed into the breast milk is too small to cause any adverse effects, it is still a good idea to ask why it has been prescribed to you in the first place and is it absolutely necessary.
