Side effects of oral contraceptive use in lactating women--enlargement of breast in a breast-fed child.
A case of breast enlargement in an eighteen-month-old breast-fed girl whose mother was using a combination pill containing 150/micrograms d-norgestrel and 30/micrograms ethinyl estradiol for three months is reported. Physical examination and endocrinological investigations in the girl did not reveal any abnormality. Breast enlargement subsided slowly over the next six months after discontinuation of breast-feeding.
