Hayfever whilst breastfeeding

[dancingmummy]

I'm dying of hayfever!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know of any anti histamines i can take, or have any advice?!!? xx

I hasten to add I am breastfeeding my 18week old ds2, hence not being able to take antihistamines, i'm not just an odd person looking for health advice lol x

Breastfeeding Network usually has good advice on drugs.

I used a phototherapy machine thing from lloyds pharmacy. Makes you look v odd while you're using it but it really does work. This thing

thanks wil check it out now

thanks both of u- hav checkd out both links. so relieved ther are actually things to try, thought i would sniff myself to death!

Hi, my doctor prescribed me Cetrizine 10mg tablets, he said Loratadine 10 mg tablets were fine to take too. (I'm breastfeeding my six month old dd3). HTH
