nasal steroids and BFing

[lfp2n]

I just got prescribed Nasonex Nasal Steroid spray. Anyone used it while breastfeeding, the ENT Dr said it was OK to do, but then he said I also could wait until I stop feeding- what does that mean, he didn't bother to ask when that might be (he was the rudest most unhelpful doc I'd ever met) anyway I thought I'd check nobody else had any bad effects.

my pregnant GP dr. prescribed both zurtec D and flonase for me. she said they are both A-ok. so if nasonex doesn't work out, flonase might be a good choice.

call your local La Leche Leader and ask her to look it up in Dr. Hales. I use Flonase and Hale's says it is okay.

Or post on the Yahoo group called breastfeeding and someone there can look it up for you. Or maybe someone here has access to Hale's?
