Can I breastfeed during an abortion with pills?
Both Mifepristone and Misoprostol pass into breast milk but the amounts are small and should not cause adverse effects in breastfed babies. Breastfeeding may continue uninterrupted following Mifepristone and Misoprostol. It is also safe to continue breastfeeding if you use the painkillers Ibuprofen or Paracetamol. Stop breastfeeding if you take the painkiller Codeine - express and discard milk during use and for one feed after the last dose.
