Can I take lemsip/beechams while breastfeeding?

[chequersandchess]

Have a stinking cold.

i don't know sweetheart,sorry. could you ring your local pharmacy / p in supermarket?

According to bfn you can take ordinary lemsip because it's paracetamol, but not beechams as it has aspirin in. Link here

Hope you feel better soon btw.

Excellent, thanks charchar. Could you get me some please?

Would if I could, at least to give the poor house a break from DD's wrecking ball habits!

If you want to be absolutely safe, you can use fresh ginger and lemon (cut in pieces), boil in some water for a couple of minutes and drink extract with some honey. Take with some parecetemol, worked like a charm for me when i was pregnant, and now while BFing. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks mummmarz, just going to take paracetomol and try that.

If I have to give DD the calpol I have some EBM in the freezer she can have.
