breastfeeding and d&c
I recently found out that my pregnancy wasn't viable. I was supposed to be around 9 to 10 weeksaand only a 7 week sac was found with no baby or heartbeat. I am still breastfeeding my almost 11 month old and don't have any plans to stop. I wanted my body to naturally start the miscarriage on its own, but having trouble having symptoms still and knowing no baby will come of it. Does anyone know if a d&c will affect my milk and if I will have to stop nursing? Any advice is appreciated. Tia.

The American Academy of Family Physicians states “Mothers of healthy term neonates can resume breastfeeding once they are awake and able to hold the infant.”
