Best Answer

Diuretics, taken short term (usually OTC for bloating) or under advised of a M.D.(usually for hypertension) should not harm your baby. They will absolutely, when taken in a high dose, (those OTC, not Rx) inhibit your milk supply and should ultimately be avoided while nursing.

Are breast enlargement pills effective?

There is little to no evidence to support the claims that breast enlargement pills work. While there is a chance that they will work, there is no evidence that they are safe. For those pills that have estrogen like effects, they could possibly cause uterine cancer.
