Good question: Most allergy medicines would be excreted in breast milk and may affect your baby. If you have to take an allergy medicine in an emergency, you can, as benefit outweighs risk, but on regular basis it isn't recommended. Ask your doctor about alternatives for the condition you suffer from , good luck

Loritadine/fexofenad: The long acting loritadine (claritin) and fexofenadine (Allegra) are both well tolerated during beast feeding and have minimal effect on milk production. Their molecular nature makes crossover inn BM minimal.
