Can i take heartburn medication while breastfeeding?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes, most of the common heartburn meds are safe with breastfeeding. Use the lowest dose possible, of course, but really pepcid, zantac, (ranitidine) prilosec, or any proton pump inhibitor are find for breastfeeding mothers.
