Medication

I think I'm falling sick. Will medication has any effects on my baby since I'm BF? Is it ok to take?

Most medicines are safe to take while you are breastfeeding. However, some medicines enter your breast milk and can affect your baby, so it is important to get advice from your doctor or pharmacist first.

Inform the doctor that you are breastfeeding still, so that the doctor will prescribe the medications which is safe for breastfeeding

Should be fine as long as doctor says it's safe for breastfeeding, or take your meds immediately after breastfeeding

Yes, I would always see the doctor and emphasise to them that I need bf friendly medication.

This is something your doctor would be able to advise better with a professional opinion.

Have an interval time of 2 hours after you take your medicine before pumping your milk

Do consult your Dr. Normal panadol is OK though, take care!

Hi, It is best to check with your doctor about this

Ask the doctor for breastfeeding safe medicines
