Hello,

Everything you take affects your baby.
But, to me you should understand first why you have this uncontrolled blood sugar:
- hormonal (ask to run thyroid function test)
- kidney problems (get urine analysis done and check protein in urine)

Usually postpartum hypertension will resolve on its own. To me, you should put your baby on formula milk until it will resolve. That is too much for your newborn baby. Discuss this with her pediatrician and your caring doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
