Diclegis & Nursing a Toddler

[Claudia83]

Hello Ladies,

I have been suffering with Nausea and Vomiting since week 5. I was given Zofran at almost 7 weeks in and it hasn't really done much for me. I was in the ER Monday this week because I was dehydrated. Diagnosed with HG (didn't have this with first pregnancy), 3 bags of IV fluids later and I was feeling like a new woman. At my follow up, my doctor gave me Diclegis to try, but reading up on it says it's not advised to use for nursing an infant, but I am not nursing an infant, I am nursing a 2 year old toddler. He's also only nursing at bedtime and a few times throughout the night. I was wondering if any of you ladies here have had any experience with this drug while nursing an older child.

No experience sorry. Have your tried talking to your pharmacist about it? Sometimes they have better knowledge of drugs. With drugs and BFing its all about why they aren't recommended. Quite often its because no one has done studies, cos its not ethical to do studies on breastfeeding infants and they can't say one way or another what the effects will be.
