I took 3 doses of pepto thinking it was safe while breast feeding. my baby sleeps through the night so i havent feed him since last night and fed him a bottle this morning. how long should i wait before breastfeeding him again?

There is limited data available, but the aspirin like compound is of concern if the baby is exposed. To be safe, avoid the medication while breastfeeding and wait 24 hours before starting to nurse again. Please also consult with your Pediatrician and Pharmacist for additional information. Watch for rapid breathing and difficulty feeding.
