Omeprazole

[Heather_belle]

Anyone know if it's ok to take omeprazole for acid reflux whilst breast feeding? Xx

I took it during pregnancy from 30 weeks, so I assume the same applies while BF'ing xx

yeah its ok, they dont like to give it out as a small amount passes thru the milk but its just the calcium binding effect that they worry about and its miniscule so its is safe.

Dr told me when Aila was 8 weeks that they prescribe omeprazole to babies for reflux i was shocked so im presuming that you should be fine hun
