Theraflu while nursing?
just wondering, is it relatively safe to take Theraflu while nursing? is there anything bad about it other than the possible effect on supply (not too concerned about this, plus i have a freezer stash of expressed BM just in case). my main concern is any effects on my son (considering theraflu has alcohol in it)
thing is, i'm feeling pretty crappy as a result of either horrible allergies or a sudden-onset cold (24 hrs ago i was feeling perfectly fine, now i have a throbbing head cold, stuffy/runny nose, sore throat..the works). usually i deal with it ok without meds during the day, the only hard part is sleeping at night. in the past (pre-pregnancy) i would take a shot of Theraflu right before bed and that would work wonders..would let me fall asleep and get a good uninterrupted 8 hrs of sleep. so i was just wondering if it would be ok to take now that i am nursing. i just nursed my son (9pm) and don't anticipate another feeding until 5am at the absolute earliest...so if i took a dose now would it be ok or should i still pump & dump in the morning?
i tried googling this and got mixed answers. was just wondering what BBBers have to say, if anyone BTDT...
