Citalopram & Breastfeeding - baby more sleepy?

3 replies

Is anyone else taking citalopram & breastfeeding? After taking my first dose last week and being quite unwell I waited a few days to start again at half dose. As the first one also made me yawn all day long and quite tired I also changed to taking it at after my evening meal and tonight took my third dose, so far no problems.

However, I have noticed that my baby, who I now mix feed, has been sleeping more. For eg Thurs morning after I took first dose at 6pm on Weds night she slept in till 10am. This morning she slept until 7.45 am. Her normal waking time is about 6am. She otherwise seems alert during her periods of being awake and is feeding fine. Do you think this may subside or should I be concerned? Any experience/comments really welcomed! TIA

Should have said am currently taking 10mg. I bf at about 4am, sometimes 6.30 am if she wants more, 12 noon and 6pm. She has bottles at 8.30am, 3.30pm, 8pm and 11pm.
