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. =/
What can I take for seasonal allergies?
-
Have you tried another allergy brands?
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.
I just googled if it was okay for breastfeeding moms to have honey and it says yes you are okay to have honey.
Good luck.

@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
My DH and I were just discussing honey I may have to find some!
-
What about Allegra? I take that since it's non-drowsy and it doesn't affect my supply.
-
I haven't had any issue with Claritin yet.
-
I had issues with Zyrtec and Allegra affecting my supply
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.
I just suffered through my allergies

@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.
-
@singingbee: oh I'm on my 2nd cycle pp as well hmm. That could be it I guess.
@sunny: yes I pump just barely enough so I notice if anythings off.
-
@jetsa: Yes. The more I had the harder it was to pump what I needed.
-
@singingbee: darn it. Thanks though I would have totally missed that

If youre super stuffed up try Afrin Severe Congestion
I was sick with a head cold last week and the active ingredient in that is recommended over pseudoephedrine (active ingredient in NyQuil) on Lactmed i guess since its a nasal spray its more localized and there for less in your blood stream than something you take orally
