Hello,
She can go for medical abortion, but, as she is lactating, a surgical evacuation would be better as the drugs used to induce an abortion are not good for the feeding baby. If feeding can be stopped as the baby is older, you can opt for medical abortion. Either way, you need to see a specialist and get a guided procedure with a follow up sonogram to confirm completion of the process of abortion. Please follow regular contraception to avoid future complications. Hope this helps.
