The more I had the harder it was to pump what I needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1678218 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:30:22 +0000 jetsa 1678218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: oh I'm on my 2nd cycle pp as well hmm. That could be it I guess.</p> <p>@sunny: yes I pump just barely enough so I notice if anythings off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1678211 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 12:28:43 +0000 singingbee 1678211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I've taken it the whole time I've been bf and it hasn't affected it. Now, my cycle returning does affect it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1678102 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:57:31 +0000 sunny 1678102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had issues with Zyrtec and Allegra affecting my supply :-(</p> <p>My doctor said that any decongestant would probably affect your supply to some degree. Since I didn't have a huge supply to begin with, it really seemed to affect me. </p> <p>I just suffered through my allergies :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1678018 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:31:05 +0000 pmerr 1678018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any issue with Claritin yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1677952 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:15:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1677952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Allegra? I take that since it's non-drowsy and it doesn't affect my supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1677920 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:08:49 +0000 jetsa 1677920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: thanks. No I wasn't taking anything bc I was scared I'd lose supply (I pump barely enough most days) and then I looked on kellymom and was like oh I can take whatever and we had Claritin and yea apparently it doesn't work for my supply :bummed: My DH and I were just discussing honey I may have to find some! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1676225 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:51:00 +0000 Raindrop 1676225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried another allergy brands?</p> <p>Honey is a natural antihistamine if you get honey locally (usually from a near by farmers market), some of my co-workers take a spoonful of local honey with their morning coffee or tea to battle allergies.</p> <p>I just googled if it was okay for breastfeeding moms to have honey and it says yes you are okay to have honey. :)</p> <p>Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/claritin-and-supply#post-1676177 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:27:49 +0000 jetsa 1676177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did Claritin affect your supply? Kellymom says no but today is day 2 of it and I've pumped 8 oz of my normal 15. =/</p> <p>What can I take for seasonal allergies? </p>
