Help- have taken a medicine and need to check I can still bf

[monkeypuzzeltree]

Can't find that website i saw on here to check the drug but a tummy bug has hit our house and in desperation I took a Lomotil tablet to stop mine in the wee hours. Just totally forgot to think if it goes to the milk.
What an idiot I am.

Not an idiot at all, perfectly understandable, you poor thing!

I'm not sure where the website is, I know the one you mean but can't think what it's called - but I hope someone on here will turn up soon and tell you.

Hello. Yu're not an idiot. Sorry you've been poorly.

Here's some help

Doesn't mention lomotil, but their helpline may be open.

As sledsImOn says, give them a ring. They were very helpful when I had some queries a couple of years back.

Yes, give BFN a call, they know their stuff, or you can check on Lact Med.

The annoyingly difficult to navigate but useful e-lactancia site (www.e-lactancia.org/ingles/inicio.asp) says it's moderately safe: has a mild risk of sedation or constipation in baby, which doesn't sound particularly worrying. Probably good to give BFN a call too.

Gah, failed to do a link:

Thanks so much everyone, so best not to take it, Imodium is better but since I've only taken a v small dose, will be fine.

I knew I'd get payback for feeling smug at finished wrapping yesterday!
