OTC meds and breastfeeding

When I was pregnant it was easy to get information on what meds I should or shouldn’t take from my OB. After I gave birth I found it was harder to get that info from my OB or GP—they often had to look up each med in a printed manual and seemed annoyed by my calls.

 

Someone mentioned LactMed to me and I’ve found it really useful. Since moms breastfeed even longer than they’re pregnant in many cases, this is a good one to bookmark. :-)
