This can be a good Research Project .
I don't know what advice can be given to the breastfeeding mother if her cholesterol level is high.
And does she know her Cholesterol level at the time of her delivery , or before her pregnancy ?
One thing for sure is that we don't treat a pregnant woman or a breastfeeding mother for hypercholesterolemia . The medicines for the purpose are contraindicated during these phases .
