Unfortunately, you can't really take anything that dries up the mucus unless you're ready to stop BFing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-otc-meds#post-428098 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 15:13:27 +0000 glimmersnaps 428098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Be very careful with Sudafed. I took one dose when DS was past one year old and my supply dropped right away. Honestly, I went for acupuncture and it cleared up the sinus infections I've had right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-otc-meds#post-427992 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 13:02:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 427992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would talk to a LC. Sudafed and stuff are technically safe I believe (so the pharmacist told me) but my LC said that since the meds are to dry your sinuses out it can also dry your milk up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-otc-meds#post-427986 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 12:54:38 +0000 matador84 427986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure I feel a major sinus infection coming on...what kind of OTC drugs do you take when you feel like you're getting sick and bfeeding? I never know if I should call my ob or not, I don't have a pcp. </p>
