Just have to voice a concern...I woke up this morning with a really bad rash all along my right arm - so I went to the doctor; I figured it was probably just an allergic reaction to something, though I don't know what, but I wanted to make sure it couldn't spread to my baby; doctor agreed that it was most likely an allergic reaction, and prescribed an off-brand version of Benadryl. He said it was safe to take while br___tfeeding, and gave me a very small dosage. (25 mg every 6 hours) The pharmacist, though, said that the manufacturer of the medication recommends against br___tfeeding while taking the medicine, since it does "contaminate" br___t milk - and, one of the side effects is that it can cause your milk to dry up for as long as you take the medication. So, now I'm worried - my daughter will NOT take formula, and I don't have any milk stored. So...hopefully the rash will clear up quickly, and my milk won't be affected.

I would call the doctor back and tell them what the pharmacist said. I had nurses from my ob office tell me I should not take prilosec when I was pregnant, and when I asked my doctor, she said it was fine. 2 other ob/gyn's in the past also told me it was okay while pregnant. I took it the whole time I was pregnant and my son is fine. And my acid reflux was under control.

they say the same thing about sudafed but I took it and it didnt dry up my milk. I heard benadryl is safe while pregnant and nursing. I would go with what your doctors says.

After 24 hours of being on the medication, my daughter nursed for 45 minutes this morning, and was hungry again less than 2 hours later..and the rash has spread to my other arm. So...not gonna keep taking it. 8^(
