A member asked:
For sinusitis is flonase and benadryl safe while breastfeeding a 1 yr old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The nasal steroid is not a problem at all and should work well, but it takes about 3 days to see some effect.Some suggest benadryl could suppress milk production but firm data is not available.Less than 2% crosses into the milk.
