Would you take lemsip while BF ?

[Liveinthepresent]

Feel too awful to go out and DH is working away this is all we have..
Would you take it?
Don't think I will make it to bedtime with out drugs!

Better if you can just get by by taking paracetamol. Info here from breastfeeding network on cold and flu remedies - lemsip has phenyl ephedrine in it which can reduce supply.

Get well soon.

Yes, always have done when poorly, figured I never had any supply problems so unlikely to do much harm. It hasn't done any harm that I'm aware of either, have been feeding for about 5 years now (2 DC).

Yep I think it's fine- can't link right now but if you look on kellymom there is lots of info on this kind of thing.

Ah ok if only risk is supply I think I will go fir it ... Thank you for your quick replies. Hopefully I can buy something else tomorrow if I can get out the door!

Oh yes for some reason it didn't occur to me to try kellymom will look !
Thanks

Does anyone know about difflam spray ? My lovely friend has just bought me some. It's main ingredient isn't listed on kellymom.
