Allergies? Breastfeeding and considering antihistamines?

Submitted by Pam on Sat, 06/13/2015 - 11:32

Spring and summer are high-allergy times for many, breastfeeding moms included. The common approach is to take an anti-histimine to help alleviate the symptoms. You may not know, however, that these antihistimines can also decrease or dry up breastmilk!  These medications are made to dry up secretions and fluids - it will not differentiate between the different body fluids and will commonly decrease breastmilk production.  So keep this in mind if you're thinking of resorting to those anti-histimines!

Testimonial

Your liver tonic has made a big difference in my life too.  Before I started taking it, dry brushing my whole body would send me into a two-day detox fatigue, so I could only dry brush my legs.  Since taking your liver tonic, I have been able to not only dry brush my entire body, but also enjoy a full body massage without any consequences other than feeling relaxed :) I'm very hopeful it will help me when I get pregnant again!  Thank you!  A.P.   (Note:  the Pregnant Mother's Liver Tonic and Nursing Mother's Liver Tonic are the same combination of herbs, just labeled differently so that each mom, whether pregnant or breastfeeding, will feel confident that it is safe and appropriate for them.)
