My wife recently took an adult dose, 2 tablespoons, of Pepto-Bismol MAX Strength (active ingredient Bismuth Subsalicylate 525 mg per tablespoon).
Ten hours later she pumped 6 ounces of breast milk which she can't decide whether to keep or dispose of.
She's concerned because the allergy warning on the bottle includes the following line:
* Do not take if you are allergic to salicylates (including ASPIRIN)

Yes, Anything you put into your body (just like pregnancy) is in Breast Milk. On the up side depending on your baby's age it may not affect them enough to dispose of the milk, but I would definatly contact your Peditrician or Ob before feeding it to your child as they may not approve. All it warents is a quick Phone call that may even be answered by your Nurse Practitioner or P.A. Also be sure to tell them that the milk was pumped 10 hours after consumption, this may be long enough for it to be out of her system. Good Luck... and Don't Worry Baby's are very Resiliant

the in trouble-free words way you'll get a pretend efficient with a being pregnant attempt is through abusing prescription drugs. I had a chum who become admitted to the well being center with an overdose, become given a uncomplicated being pregnant attempt that examined efficient. it become suggested with a blood attempt and ultrasound. there become no info of a being pregnant occurring in any respect. Pepto Bismol has Ibuprofen in it. in case you believe being pregnant end TAKING IT. it truly is amazingly risky in the first trimester.

Why not throw it out to be on the safe side. There's plenty more milk, right? And besides, Petppo contains a form of aspirin and you aren't supposed to give aspirin to babies. Ask your doctor to be sure.

I'm not really sure. I know you shouldn't take pepto while pregnant so I would assume don't while nursing. Dump the milk just in case and check with the doctor.
