In my opinion, one should stop the breast feeding, as it is a great nutritional burden to the lady to provide nutrients to the growing fetus and also to the child outside. Besides this, nipple stimulation, as it occurs during suckling, can cause uterine contractions, which could be responsible for abortion.
