A member asked:

I took a benadryl pill after an allergic reaction. i pumped two hours afterwards. is the pumped milk ok to give my five month old.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Will be fine: A;though we prefer people use the newer non-sedating anti-histamines if they need them for regular use, this is unlikely to bother baby at all. A small amount will pass in the milk & we occasionally give it to babies. You are fine to use it.
