Nursing Mothers Taking Allergy Medicines?

Question

It's been five years since my last child. I forgot what allergy medicines I can take while nursing my one month old. I know Benadryl, but what else since I don't have any of that? I could get a scrip, but I would prefer over the counter.

Answer 1

Call your dr. or the pharmacy....they change what they think you can take all the time

Answer 2

Some allergy medicines will dry up your milk. I nursed for five years of my life. I recommend getting a prescription for a steroidal nasal spray. It will not affect your milk supply or the baby.
