Can you take Advil while breastfeeding?

Answer 1

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) is compatible with breastfeeding. It passes into the mother's milk in very small amounts. It is not advised to use ibuprofen for an extended period of time.

Answer 2

here is what it said on their website.

If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use. It is especially important not to use aspirin during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless definitely directed to do so by a doctor because it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery.

Answer 3

no it will poison the baby take a tylenol.

THIS IS NONSENSE. IT IS ADVISED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS TO JUST NOT TAKE IT REGULARLY. OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT DEFINED, BUT 200 MG (the standard over-the-counter dose) FOR A FEW DAYS SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. VERY LITTLE PASSES INTO THE BREAST MILK. AS ALWAYS, IF CONCERNED, CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN AND/OR PEDIATRICIAN.

Answer 4

While Advil (Ibuprofen) should be avoided during pregnancy, it is considered ok to use when breastfeeding.

Answer 5

when breastfeeding you need to ask a doctor before taking midol for medical reasons

Answer 6

My sister was recently pregnant, and our family doctor told her that acetaminophen is the only safe over the counter drug she could take. No advil, no alive... nothing except Tylenol.

Answer 7

You can, just no more than 4 grams or 4,000 milligrams of it
