What You Need to Know About Allegra and BreastfeedingYou can definitely mix Allegra and Breastfeeding. I know countless moms who have taken Allegra throughout their entire pregnancies and continued without any issues while nursing. The fact is that many breastfeeding moms regularly use antihistamines, sometimes in combination with decongestants, for cold symptoms or seasonal allergies. The older families of antihistamines--diphenhydramine (Benadryl), chlorpheniramine(Chlor-Trimeton), and brompheniramine(Dimetapp)--may produce sedation in infants but not always.
That is not the case with Allegra. It is nonsedating, and therefore will not predispose them to breathing difficulties caused by some other choices!
One Caution for YouWatch carefully if using Allegra-D. This version has pseudoephedrine added (which is AAP approved) but may effect your milk supply!If you start to notice a decrease, you may want to try to switch to the pseudoephedrine-free version as soon as you can, but most mom's don't notice a change at all.
