Can you take those antibiotics? What about antihistamines to manage your hay fever symptoms? And x-rays - are they safe for you if you’re breastfeeding? Trying to feed your baby whilst looking after your own health can sometimes feel like a struggle, but luckily The Drugs in Breastmilk Service can help you with information about a lot of different medications, treatments and procedures, so you can make the decision that's best for you and your family. It's completely free to access, and run by the charity The Breastfeeding Network. On this episode we hear from Amanda Da Costa, the service's Clinical Supervisor. She shares with us what they do - and how we can access their support should or when we need it.
