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.
