Can you take excedrin while breastfeeding?
Answer:
There are betters, I think excedrin is high in caffeine. Id stick with tylenol. Although I hear for migraines (not bf or pregnant) excedrin is a good choice, so if its a migraine, I couldnt say.
If you take the boob out of your mouth to swallow.
No. Children under 18 should not have aspirin (which is found in Excedrin) b/c it can cause Rhyes Syndrome which can be fatal. Some aspirin will be transferred into your breastmilk, so it is best to stick w/ Tylenol.
I would say no because giving a baby asprin could be very dangerous because it could cause Reyes disease. If you have a headache take tylenol.
No. The Tylenol and caffeine are OK, but not the aspirin. Do you have a headache because you're dehydrated? That happens to me a lot, and caffeine will only make it worse. Take care.

Tylenol is best...
I do not think so, because what ever you eat effects your baby. Tylenol is the best medicine that you can take. You should asks the pediatrician just too make sure...

I breastfed both of my kids and I would take ibeprophen. I am not sure about excederin.
You should not take excedrin while breast feeding. Excedrin contains aspirin which is known to be harmful for infants. It also contains a high amount of caffeine, which is thought to cause problems with infants as well. Your best bet is going to be tylenol.
