A mother of a 1 year old had an injection today of Botox (botulism) from a
plastic surgeon to numb her face on her forhead and around her eyes, the
purpose of which was to erase wrinkles and frown lines. (!!!!!) The effect
will last 3-6 months and will then be repeated.
Not until she had received the injection was she told that she would not be
able to breastfeed her baby. She is distraught.
Does anyone have any information or strong opinion about this? Mom is
waiting with unhappy baby for our reply.
