We all ask this question right? It's so important to tell any Doctor you are seeing that you are breastfeeding. While many medications are safe to take, some can cause a reduction in milk supply while taking them. Some can cause problems with your baby as the medication crosses into the breastmilk. Do your research here on Lactmed, be sure to talk to the Doctor about side effects and always look into an alternative when what you might need is not safe to take while breastfeeding.
There is an "ap" for this site as well. This can be really handy when you are standing in the medication aisle, stuffed up, coughing, feverish and about to lay down right there on the floor of the store and nap. Look up meds on your phone before you walk out with something that might not have been the best choice.
