Statins (cholesterol lowering medicine) are not recommended during breast feeding so unless your cholesterol levels are extremely high and in that case if you need to take medicines then avoid breastfeeding, you should discontinue cholesterol lowering medicines while you are breast feeding, instead try to exercise daily for 30 mins and bring diet control by eating a cholesterol lowering diet (consult a dietitian in detail) during this time. You can restart once you stop breastfeeding.
