Botox during breast feeding

[Manci]

I just had a baby two months ago and I'm breast feeding at the moment. There are some frown lines on my faces which I would like to soften as soon as possible before I go back to work. I have had botox before in this region twice before and never had any problems and I have found it works very well to soften my facial wrinkle lines. Can I get botox injections in my face when I'm breast feeding or do I have to wait until I am no longer breast feeding? Will the botox drug pass into the breast milk that I give to my son and could that harm him in anyway?

We do not recommend having botox treatment when you are breast feeding.
