Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Very Low Risk for breastfeeding


Safe. Compatible.
Minimal risk for breastfeeding and infant.

It is not recommended in those cases of heart arrhythmia, while using a pacemaker, epilepsy, pregnancy and childhood (particularly on areas of growth cartilage plates). Despite the fact that electric energy of low voltage and amperage is commonly generated, it would be wise to be cautious by avoiding its use while nursing in order to keep the child from an adverse effect.

Alternatives

We do not have alternatives for Electrical Muscle Stimulation since it is relatively safe.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM´s pediatricians and pharmacists, and are based on updated scientific publications.
