Turns out that it was allergies, plus a period. On Friday I produced less than 9 ounces, but now we are moving back in the right direction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-731001 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 23:13:59 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 731001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use claritin as advised by my LC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-730118 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:51:17 +0000 LaineysMom 730118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I use Zyrtec everyday and have never had any supply problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728987 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:16:45 +0000 mrsmenow 728987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have really been struggling too!

I also take allergy shots every two weeks. I haven't seen a significant hit to my supply but I also have a serious oversupply </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728942 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:05:36 +0000 bunnylove08 728942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a LC told me that allergy meds dry up your milk so I use a neti pot or saline spray since my supply is pretty non existent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728791 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:23:02 +0000 MaisyMay 728791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Thank you. I have an over-the-counter nasal spray that I'll try. If this doesn't work, I'll email my doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728787 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:22:12 +0000 Ree723 728787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Rhinocourt nasal spray and my supply has been fine. I too need my daily allergy meds or I'm a mess. I think the antihistamines are the ones that can really affect supply so I avoid those. My doc recommended Rhinocourt as it's safe for BF'ing, but it is prescription only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728755 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 08:12:32 +0000 immabeetoo 728755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use saline spray! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-meds-and-milk-supply#post-728666 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 07:31:08 +0000 MaisyMay 728666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are any of you going through a supply hit due to taking allergy medicine?<br /> I was told that Claritin is safe for nursing, so I've been taking that since I pump and if I skip a day allergies kick my butt. But my supply has been really reduced.</p> <p>What do you take for allergy relief while pumping/nursing? </p>
