Specializes in Adolescent Medicine

No waiting necessary: Allan Seltzer is a mild antacid which helps chemically neutralize the hydrochloric acid which is in your stomach. Your breast milk is an ultra filtrate of your plasma (your blood). Same body, different system. Not to worry. Go breast feed as soon as you want to.
