Hi hun, I'm not sure if BO is safe while nursing or not. I have heard that Fenugreek can help while nursing, though I didn't try it myself while nursing as I was worried about the same things you are worried about with the BO. But you starting to produce milk again is the reason why I tell people to wait 6 months after they have dried up from nursing to start a NBE program because it can start you producing milk again. I have heard from wet nurses that fenugreek helps them to keep producing and is safe for babies. So if a NBE herb like that is safe, maybe BO is also. Also I started the pill when I was able to after giving birth and they say birth control doesn't hurt the baby while breastfeeding, or that's what my dr said. So if BC wouldn't hurt, not seeing why BO wouldn't. How long are you planning to nurse him? Just if you find out that BO is safe to take while nursing whenever you are ready to stop nursing then go on a NBE program, like I said, make sure you are dried up completely then wait 6 months or so to start. I waited a year after I was done breastfeeding. Hope you can find out if it's safe for the baby, that would be interesting to know. But I would get multiple opinions as some dr's don't believe in natural medicines and BO is a natural medicine. Good luck!
