Unisom while breast feeding?

I never had to take that, so I am not sure but I found this: Unisom While Breastfeeding The Toughest Job You’ll Ever Love
Hope that helps some.

Do you have a nurse's line you could call and check with?

Thank you! I will see if I can call a nurses line!

Do you co-sleep? If so, I would avoid it, because it can make you less aware of where baby is. Otherwise I believe it is okay, because it's just benedryl and they give kids benedryl for allergies.

The tylenol they had me take after Kyan was born and for a few days afterwards was Tylenol 3 (prescription only) that had codine in it. I breastfed and the only thing I can say was that he slept well too.

I totally didn't think about it at the time but assumed it was okay since they knew I was exclusively breastfeeding and gave it to me anyways. I'd check with a Dr. though.

I second not co-sleeping and also making sure that your dh is fully able to listen for the baby and everything. That stuff can really knock you on your ass if you're not used to it.

Thanks so much!

Baby sleeps next to my bed in her swing because she has acid reflux and has to be at an incline.
