I have got a sore throat and generally feel run down. Mainly caused by having a 17 day old DS2. Anyway an old lady who lives near us heard me and DH talking about my sore throat as we walked home from town this afternoon. She has just appeared with Lemsip, lovely gesture but pharmicist(sp) said I can't have it due to BF. But I didn't say that to her, just said thanks thats lovely.

She then said "But you'll have to stop feeding that poor baby yourself, he has had his 2 weeks worth so give him some proper formula milk" Then she said bye, happy new year etc and left.

I was left looking like this > and DH shut the door for me.

I have struggled a fair bit with BF DS2 as some of you will know. I am really in shock, how does she even know DS2 is BF.

The decongestant in Lemsip is, I read, Phenylephrine, and while the baby gets very little (I read), there is some concern that some babies may be agitated and that supply could be affected...but there's not much evidence this is significant in practice.

I found this by serching toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/
