Can I take paracetamol while bf?

[Annie75]

Hello. I've had a temp of 38.5 for last 24 hours and general flu-like symptoms. I'm still bfing dd who is over 2. Anyone know what the guidance is as I think I need to try and bring the temp down. Thanks!

Well in all the pregnancy books it says you can take paracetamol and it doesn't affect the child so I'd imagine BF would be the same.

Hope someone who knows more will come along.

You can take it whilst pregnant so I can't see why not. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes you can definitely take paracetamol.

Great - thanks for replies. Will get on the case!
