Q: Can I still breastfeed even if I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant?

A: Yes. The very term, gestational diabetes, means the sickness is only present during the pregnancy. There is no direct correlation between gestational diabetes and breastfeeding. In fact if a mom is breastfeeding, she also protects herself longer from different life threatening illnesses, diabetes included.
