Infant feeding

Double checking drug is ok for use when BFing

I've been prescribed buccastem 3mg buccal tablets (3per day) for excessive 'morning' sickness

I asked doctor if they were ok to take while BFing my DD and he checked his book and said it wasn't suitable for chronic treatment but he thought the 2.5 week course he'd prescribed would be fine.

I thought from previous threads here that there's a well respected website which tells you what's safe to take while feeding. Any tips? I havetried googling but just wasnt sure what was trustworthy

Thanks

toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT is another good source of info, which you can share with your doc.

Thank you also tiktok
I looked up on that website and it said short term use was ok.

Just thought I'd pop back and update in case anybody is searching for this later.
I got a lovely email from the bfn pharmacist who said she was totally happy for me to take the drug. DD is sixteen months old and the pharmacist said if DD had been a younger baby then she might have worried about it making DD drowsy but that at her age it was totally ok.
