Have been prescribed Paroxitine. My Hb took over the nights and 2 yo gone 3 days without bf. I feel upset stopping bf because of Paroxitine. Can I bf 2yo just before bed time and then give him to my husband ? And any other times when toddler asks for bf to say ONLY at bed time? Will it work.

As tiktok said in your other post, you don't actually need to stop or reduce BF to take Paroxitine, the amount that actually gets into your milk is miniscule and it's considered a safe drug for BF mums.

I breastfed on another SSRI (Sertraline) for over a year with a much younger baby (so a lot smaller and feeding A LOT), the psych team in the maternity hospital said it was perfectly safe.

If you want to reduce feeds or reduce night feeds anyway, that's perfectly possible - if toddler is feeding a lot at night you could try Dr Jay Gordon's night weaning plan, for example:
