Sudafed while breastfeeding?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I wouldn't: The american academy of pediatrics says that sudafed is compatible with breast feeding. However, it's known to enter the milk; i advise against using any medicine that enters the milk unless you really have to, and i don't know of any situation where you really have to use sudafed.

Safe: But you always want to minimize baby's exposure to drugs. Take cautiously as needed.
