Can I take Aspirin while breast feeding?

[Chuffed]

I'm about to do a long haul flight and have always just taken one aspirin 24 hours beforehand to thin my blood to prevent dvt's. I'm currently breastfeeding - does anybody know if it is safe to take an aspirin before I fly.

I dont think so tbh but could be wrong.

Are you pregnant? I'm not quite sure how safe aspirin is when you are breastfeeding (it's safe for you but I'm not sure if for your child). I would use the so famous socks, drink lots and lots of water and try to move a lot during the trip even if that means just moving your feet.

Just searched on google and it says no.

it sounds pretty clear:

Aspirin and Breast Feeding

Aspirin is transferred to breast milk and it is estimated that a nursing baby receives about 4-8% of the mother?s dose (WHO 1988). Continued exposure to small doses of aspirin may be harmful to babies because aspirin tends to build up in their bodies (Findlay et al. 1981). In some countries, nursing woman are advised against aspirin use because of the possible development of Reye?s Syndrome in their babies (WHO 1988). Reye?s Syndrome is a rare condition that affects the brain and liver and is most often observed in children given aspirin during a viral illness (National Reye's Syndrome Foundation). Because sufficient information is not available to accurately determine the extent of aspirin accumulation in babies and the resulting health outcomes, the World Health Organization (WHO) Working Group on Human Lactation considers aspirin intake by nursing mothers as unsafe (WHO 1988).

Thanks for this, will do the water/moving thing.
