Hi,
I am a mother with IBD. During pregnancy I was only on Mesalamine and my symptoms subsided.
But now after 2 months of delivery symptoms of IBD has relapsed.
I will have to take immunosuppresant like Azathioprine n steroid budesonide.
Can I continue breastfeeding while on these medications..Is it safe for my baby.
