okay, so I followed the advice of a close friend of mine who has nursed 5 of her
kids. It was the very first time I didn't look up a medicine for myself to see
if it was safe to take while nursing. And here I am, in trouble now. :( After
the flu going through our house for 2 weeks, I finally caught it. I was
desparate for some sleep and took 1/2 dose of nyquil @ 9p last night. My 7
month old usually sleeps from 8p until 2a. So I thought that would be the
safest time to take it. I took water with it as well. Anyway, she slept until
4p and when she nursed, I NEVER had a let down! She usually nurses about 5
minutes and then falls back asleep. She just nursed for 21 minutes and NO let
down. She normally takes just one side. I let her take both, in hopes
something happened. Nothing! She wasn't fussy, just wide awake and staring at
me. What did I do!?!?!? And the worst of it is that she has severe allergies
and I've been on a very restricted elimination diet for 6 months now. If I
threw that all out the window for one lousy tablespoon of nyquil - OH! What can
I do to increase my supply ASAP!?!?!?!?
