Is 200mg of hydroxychloroquine safe to take while breastfeeding?

According to this article, a small dose of hydroxychloroquine wil not have any adverse effects on baby if you are breastfeeding: "Five mothers took hydroxychloroquine 200 mg daily during pregnancy and breastfeeding, one for 30 months. Flash electroretinograms performed on the infants were normal." At the end of the day, best to check with your medical practitioner before taking anything especially if baby is involved. https://www.drugs.com/breastfeeding/hydroxychloroquine.html

Help! Need advice. Baby is 5 months. Fully breasted. Majority by bottle. She sleeps with helper. In the last month, she refuses to latch at night. She was ok to do it last weekend during the day. ( full time working mother) .. I keep putting my breast to her face., and she cries like mad nowadays.. She jus cried until she vomitted jus now.. What should I do? Persist? I m Sooo tired and heartbroken.. It makes it worst that I have to balance time between 2 kids.. ( toddler boy ) .. Pls advice .. Give up or persist?

I think just give her e bottle..don't need force her to latch. U can spend time playing with her instead...and my personal opinion is that babies shouldn't sleep with helpers...

I will have to hand express after pumping, however my lefty always end up messy.. one of the 'hole' on my left nipple, the milk sprayed sideways instead to the front. Milk ended up on either my hand, chair or floor. A bit of milk was wasted and i also have cleaning up to do. Is there any way to correct this problem or is it something to be concerened about?

Sounds u orthodox but maybe ask your husband to help if you're not too comfortable expressing with your left hand?

Has anyone engaged a breast masseur to boost your supply?

I didn't even know that there is such a profession, wow! I do know of some malay masseurs who will include breast massages during confinement. They focus on all the typical parts and apparently the breasts are included due to nursing purposes.

I have nipple cracks from initial bad latch which havent healed yet inspite of lanolin use. Feeding my bubs is painful hence. Now his latch is good still they arent healing. Got em checked by a lac consultant, she said continue feeding it will heal. But im jn distress. Hes about 23 days old. Any home remedies for healing them.

Try applying nipple cream after every latch and air dry it. I used to get it and it healed after a week or so. Must be really patient. Alternatively, u can use Yr breast milk too. Must also air dry similarly.

Please share your pumping schedule with me. I'm power pumping + taking oats & almond milk + drink lots of fluids and direct latching. Still unable to pump enough for my lo :( Worrying for my supply :(

I'm using Avent electric double pump. Pumping every 3 hours; 3 mins massage mode, 4 mins suction 2 mode, 6 mins massage mode (aim for 2 letdowns). Pumping at night only so that my CL can bottle feed her, during the day I direct latch.

My LO has bad reflux to the extend that she vomits out the bm that she took. Therefore I'm currently feeding her fm with thickener to ensure that the milk stays in her stomach as much as possible. Bf session has therefore reduced greatly to the extend I'm only nursing her to sleep until her reflux issue improves. Meanwhile, is there anyway to reduce the bm supply for the time being as I feel very heart pain to pump and dump. I don't intend to store my bm for future use, so pumping out to store would be a viable option for me. Thanks!

Why not to store? If you don't wish to give it to your local as frozen breast milk, you can let her have it as milk bath or else donate it out. There are many people out there who is in need of breast milk especially for pre matured babies.
