I have some major allergy issues and an awful sinus headache. Does anyone know if there's any medicine I can take to feel better that won't affect my bfing? I'm googling, but I'm either A) too sick/tired or not searching correctly.
zyrtec or zyzal should be safe even though neither have been studied in moms breastfeeding. since they are safe to take pregnant and they both have an indication to give to infants 6 months and above.
I used safefetus.com when I was pregnant and nursing (well, I'm still nursing but haven't been on any new meds lately). I've also taken Claritin and Flonase for most of my pregnancies and nursing times, although that's not a recommendation so much as just my experience.

RPL Workup: + LPD (7DPO Prog = 7.8, Endometrial Bx = out of phase)
Elevated Alpha 2-glycoprotein IgA and antiphosphatidylserine IgM -->
Hematologist said not to worry and no need for treatment!
