I'm still currently nursing my son, but would like to donate blood at the blood drive here at work. Does anyone know if i can do that, or not?

The american red cross does not mention on their website they say "Pregnancy, Nursing - Persons who are pregnant are not eligible to donate. Wait 6 weeks after giving birth. "

are not getting canned formulation to complement, with the aid of fact it is composed of extra BPA than different cans. in case you opt to complement, pump and feed your daughter your milk in case you ought to! That mentioned, you ought to not donate basically after toddler is born, or interior the 1st 2 months, as your physique is very much recuperating. Drink water, complement your physique later on with sturdy sugars (end result). you will of direction experience somewhat susceptible. ...yet good day! it truly is not childbirth. in case you probably did that, you're able to do something!

I'm not sure. I assume they'd tell you when you went to do it. My guess is you shouldn't. You may still have weird hormones flowing through you from the pregnancy. Plus you need to be strong for your kid.
