BF and meds.

[MonMic]

Hi,
I am interested if anyone knows about medications ending up in breast milk.

I know most things are transfered through but was wondering, if you took say a sleeping tablet but DID NOT feed bubs overnight or expressed some milk, would bubs get any medication in the milk the next morning?

After all the milk was made in the glands during the night whilst the medication would still be in your system? or is it flushed out by then as it would be from your blood?

just wondering:rolleyes:
Mon.

It depends what type of sleeper you are thinking about taking?

There are different classifications of drugs and some are used for sleeping tablets and also anxiety disorders.

Whenever I've needed to know about medication, I've done one of two things - either talked to a local pharmacist, or called the local maternity hospital.

They've been able to help me what's safe and not to take when you're feeding.
