Go to infantrisk.org and read about the [very miniscule] risk of nursing on entocort.

Then talk to your DR about options. What you want is for the entocort to put you in remission and then you can maintain that remission with 5-ASAs. I don't know if 8 weeks is the right amount of time, but I'm sure that 3 days is too little.

Just started 3,2,1 a day step down, each group will be 3 weeks. I have done less for a shorter time 4 weeks in the past. remember every one is different. I'm a guy and 54. If you have concerns speak to your Dr.s.
