I am breastfeeding a 7-month-old baby, about which I warned the doctor. Yesterday I was given a shot of dexaven 8mg, could it affect my baby? Can you experience side effects?
In two days, the child was supposed to have a vaccination, is it worth postponing it due to the situation?

A single administration of Dexamen (dexamethasone) 8 mg during breastfeeding is considered to be a low risk to the baby and side effects are unlikely. In the case of a single dose, there is no need to routinely postpone the vaccination, but it is worth informing the paediatrician about the situation before vaccination so that he can assess the child's condition individually.
