Is it safe to take lymphatic drops while breastfeeding?
My son is 20 months and I only feed him once for his morning nap and once at bedtime.
The drops are twice a day and all herbal.
Red clover blossom, prickly ash bark, cleavers aerial parts and stillingia root.

I bet 1000000000 pounds that there aren’t double blind, placebo controlled, peer reviews studies. So why risk it?

Personally I wouldn’t risk it. No one has got that sort of data.

This post nails it. It's not safe because we haven't tested properly
