English term or phrase: nursing child
The effects of this drug on an unborn human fetus or a nursing child are unknown. If you are pregnant or become pregnant, the Study Drug may cause problems to your unborn baby or nursing child such as birth defects, premature birth, or even death.

Could you explain the meaning of nursing child?

The mother who is nursing her child is breast feeding it rather than bottle feeding it. Hence the problems with taking medication as this will be passed into the mother's milk and could be dangerous for the baby.

Hi Sanjiv,

You text does state that the effects of the drug (medication) are unknown on a fetus. This means that should the pregnant mother take the drug, the effects of the medication on the unborn child are not yet known. The effects are not yet known either on the nursing child (the baby who has been born and is being breastfed). This should be clearer now.

well the explanation is a bit confusing but the sentence actually talks about all the risks per ansamble (meaning both for a newly born or unborn)
