I used lactulose when b/fing...

May I make a suggestion: listen to the pharmacist rather than the internet. I take it that it was prescribed by your GP?

Know what you mean

I was prescribed it by my GP when I b/fing.

Put this in the breastfeeding topic and someone may know the ingredients of laculose...
