Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have not mentioned the condition why doctor has told you to stop
breastfeeding, there are only few contraindications to breastfeeding and they are: if mother, is
HIV positive, is having untreated
tuberculosis, and is on certain medication.
There are some condition in which breastfeeding is only temporarily stopped and those are any infection and lesions on breast like boil,
impetigo, or
herpes simplex in which mother is advised to use pump to express milk which can be given to baby. So my suggestion is that you should consult your doctor. Breast milk is the best milk and if in any condition you have to give formula temporarily then give it with a spoon and avoid bottle
Relax, your baby will be fine.
God bless.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Synthyia Bhagat
