I just took some theraflu. how long should i wait before i can breastfeed again?

Theraflu: There is no need to wait to breastfeed. However theraflu contains a decongestant- phenylephrine that might decrease breast milk supply. The antihistamine that it contains, diphenhydramine, can decrease breastmilk flow.
