BFing and seasonal allergies

I think I may be having allergy issues for the first time, which of course coincides with me not being able to take most meds.  Does anyone know of any BFing-approved remedies that actually work?  I'm tired of hacking up junk. :p

Re: BFing and seasonal allergies

  • When I was BFing I would take Benedryl when it got really bad, but usually only one, once a day. I tried to be careful because C would get tired if I took two tablets I also stole C's humidifier at times or sat in the bathroom with the hot water running to breathe in the steam. Allergies are no fun.

    Claritin.  I have taken a claritin EVERY SINGLE DAY since I was 6 months pregnant with Jackson. I took it the entire time I BF'd him (one year) and during Malia's pregnancy and now.

    Defininitely double check with your OB - but mine said it's totally safe :)
