Advil or Tylenol
How many mg of Tylenol or advil can one take while breastfeeding? Are you
limited? I have one bad headache and not too sure how many I am allowed to take. -- Laura Mommy to Izabella **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(3) & George (5)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ |

ble.rogers.com... How many mg of Tylenol or advil can one take while breastfeeding? Are you limited? I have one bad headache and not too sure how many I am allowed to take. Both are safe, though I believe ibuprofen (Advil) is preferred for lactation. After my third child was born, I was prescribed 800mg of ibuprofen for perineal discomfort, so I'd say you could take at least that much. |

Advil or Tylenol
Hi - The dosage, as far as I know, doesn't change while breastfeeding. Just be aware that a small amount of what you take MAY pass through your breastmilk to your baby. This poses no risk to your baby, but be aware of it should you need to give a pain reliever to your baby in the next 12 hours.

Advil or Tylenol
Thank you. For some reason I had thought you were limited to the mg that you
are allowed to take. So is advil better? I guess just regular strength though or anything is better as well? -- Laura Mommy to Izabella **Feb 10th, 2003** And 2 felines *Ashes(3) & George (5)* http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/izabellawelburn/ "Beth Kevles" wrote in message ...

Actually, they work well together. I'm a chronic migraine sufferer, and if I catch the headache really early I can sometimes successfully treat it with two Advil, two Tylenol, and a Coke or a coffee. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

Thank you. For some reason I had thought you were limited to the mg that you
are allowed to take. This is late, but any dose of these drugs that would be safe for you is perfectly safe for your baby. You'd be in the hospital with an overdose long before you'd do your nursing baby any harm. Naomi CAPPA Certified Lactation Educator (either remove spamblock or change address to to e-mail reply.) |
