A member asked:
Can i take diphenhydramine if i am breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is potentially sedating and some have concerns that it can decrease volume. Most suggest the long acting non sedating antihistamines like Loratadine or fexofenadine as a better alternative during breast feeding.
