A member asked:
I am breastfeeding my 6 week old daughter. i felt a sore throat coming on so i took 2 doses of airborne (3 gummies twice today). will my baby be ok?

Probably okay: Such vitamin supplements are equally shared with baby through the breast milk. Unless the baby has a specific individual sensitivity to one of the many contents, it should be okay. In general such products are worthless beyond their placebo (sugar pill) effect. The supplement companies are not regulated by the FDA so they are free to claim anything they want. Consumer beware.
