A member asked:

Is it safe to take "baby" asprin while breastfeeding? i am worried about increasing the risk of reye's syndrome in my nursing infant.

Caution advised: Aspirins use during breast feeding viewed with caution. Ibuprofen has a similar anti -platelet effect as baby Aspirin but is considered safe.
