My baby is three weeks old tomorrow. Yesterday evening I had a cracking headache and took an Anadin. I then breastfed about an hour later before realising that the pill has 300mg of aspirin in it which is REALLY not recommended. There is all sorts of stuff online about it causing issues with clotting and Reye's syndrome, which is potentially life threatening.
I immediately stopped bf'ing and used formula overnight (I've been combination feeding anyway.) I'm pumping to keep my supply up and throwing it away. I took her to out of hours surgery and the GP said everything looks fine but to keep an eye on her for erratic breathing and if she's not acting "like herself."
I'm in absolute pieces with worry and guilt and have been awake all night just watching her and crying. She's only tiny so I don't really know what "acting like herself" is yet... and her newborn breathing does sound erratic at times with all sorts of noises that I'm still learning.
Has anyway accidentally taken aspirin while bf'ing before and had everything turn out ok? I feel like the worst mum ever and my anxiety is through the roof. I worry about something happening to her all the time anyway, but the idea of it being my fault is too much too bear.
