Epidural Steroid Injection

Epidural steroid injections for back pain are safe while breastfeeding. The corticosteroid (typically triamcinolone or methylprednisolone) is injected locally into the epidural space, with minimal systemic absorption. The amount that could theoretically reach breast milk is negligible. You can breastfeed normally after the procedure.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
