Can I take cough medicine while breastfeeding????

[eilidhfi]

It says to ask my pharmicist or doctor but neither of them are around right now and I can't talk for coughing anyway so I'm asking you.

It's Benylin non-drowsy for chesty coughs if that makes any difference...

T (cough) I (cough) A (coughcough)

ooh, i don't know but i had buttercup syrup, that's really mild. helped me. want me to bring you some??

Pleeeeeeeeeeease!

I'm thinking that it doesn't say 'No you must not take this as it will cause your child to grow a third ear and turn green.' So it can't really be that bad?!

I'm waiting 2 more minutes then I'm taking some anyway, unless you can get here before that Wurzel.

Darn it!! my super duper get there in a flash machine has gone missing.
Now where did i leave it??
How bout phoning that nhs number??
Bit extreme maybe??

That was very careless of you. Look down the back of the couch, mine is always falling down there

I could phone that nhs thing or I could just down the whole bottle and be off to bed...

I'll update on how DD's third ear and green tinge are coming along tomorrow. Night night

i asked pharmacist when i had a sore throat and the only thing you are supposed to take is honey and lemon linctus.

Aww crap.

I took children's cough syrup once while I was BFing - I was desperate. I reasoned that if it was OK for 1 year olds, it was OK for BFing.
