Can taking low-dose birth control pills affect nursling son's genitalia?
I wonder if they did affect him, tho, because there is a very big difference in the sizes of our two sons' penises. Well, I haven't seen the older boy's in many years, but the younger one, I spotted in the shower the other night and was very surprised to see his penis still looks like an infant's. (Our sons are uncircumcized.) Our oldest's was not infant-like when he was 8/9.
Should I pursue this with his doctor, or are these variations just typical? I know a friend of ours had her son, who has down syndrome, receive injections of growth hormone directly into his penis, because it was so small it was barely protruding.
Answer:
I don't think that taking low-dose birth control will have and effect on the childs reproductive organs. Because I remember reading something in the Laleche site of the amount of medicine a mother takes doesn't go into the breast milk as much as we think it does. But I would probably recommend going to the website for exact answers. And if it does concern you a bit about the reproductive organs. You can probably bring up the question to the child's pediatrician to be sure.
That has nothing to do with your birth control pills.
Mention it to the Dr at his next appointment. An uncircumsized penis always looks smaller than a circumsized one. As for the down's syndrome baby...that's because their genetilia is smalle anyways
