Abstract
There are countless of benefits if children be exclusively breastfed during the first six months of life and kept on breast-feeding with additional nutrients until two years old. The benefits of breastfeeding are not only notable in the first few years of life but all through it. However, mothers terminate breastfeeding early for various reasons. Sometimes the reason for this may be mothers' use drug or her misled by health personnel. In fact, there are only a few drugs which require weaning to be stopped and sometimes it is sufficient to limit breastfeeding or only to monitor the infant during use of some medicament. In circumstances when breastfeeding is really contraindicated due to mother's drug use breastfeeding counselling should be given to these mothers about restricting breastfeeding /weaning and baby nutrition. In this article, a case was discussed where a mother with a heart disease was asked to stop weaning her baby because she needed to use certain drugs; her dilemma for either terminating breastfeeding or treatment process, by drawing attention to the breastfeeding approaches of the physician and the mother with the emphasis on counselling and it should be given by breastfeeding counsellors in such cases
