    It's an L3. I wonder if there are any alternatives that might work for you.

    While we're at it, there's another very useful (but somewhat dense and scientific) app that's free called "Lactmed" that has the lactation info for medications from the NIH database. Check it out:

    @starla487‌ This would actually be a great reason to contact Dr. Hale at Infant Risk. They're the experts on breastfeeding and medications, so they could discuss your headaches and some options that are safe. The direct number is (806) 352-2519, or you can use the app!

    I'll do some Googling too. I know it's dehydration related, but even downing 60-80 oz of water/day doesn't seem to keep up with the BF.

    ------------------------------
    Interesting. Do you have any other symptoms of dehydration (chapped lips, dry skin, lethargy)? Because that's more than enough water for a breastfeeding mom...we typically recommend that BFing mothers drink to thirst.

    Have you tried adding foods to your diet in meals and as snacks that have high water content? Just as yet another source of water. Also, could it be too few calories, not too little water?

    Damn, it doesn't work for the old iOS. And I'm not upgrading.

    Why don't you upgrade?? ;)

    Thanks. I prefer dr hales book for details but the app gives at least a quick answer for lactation risk

    I just call them whenever I get a medication question. That way, I make sure to get the most up to date info. :)
