Thanks for the advice! I'm more worried about the effect they'd have on Milo as I'm breastfeeding, rather than the effect they'd have on me if that makes sense
You know, I can deal with me feeling rubbish, but couldn't deal with making Milo feel rubbish.
At the moment, Milo is down to 2 bf feeds a day, one before his midday nap and one before bedtime - it's the only way he'll fall asleep! If he could fall asleep on his own, i would quit bfing in a flash! Anyway, I'm thinking of cutting down to just one feed before bed, so I need to find some way to make him sleep without bfing him to sleep
So if he's only on 1 feed a day, and i take the medication after that feed, it should reduce anything passing into my milk and into him shouldn't it? My doctor says it's fine to use during breastfeeding anyway, but i can't help worrying. I mean, even when i wasn't pregnant or breastfeeding, i never used to even take cold medicine! I really really don't like medicine
But i also really really don't like feeling how i'm feeling.
LisaM, the doctor thought Paxil would be best for me as he diagnosed mild depression and post natal ocd (post natal ocd being by far the strongest), and reckoned that was the best choice to knock out both of those. Does that sound about right? Thanks for all the advice!
Jen, sorry to hear Shayne had a rubbish experience
I bet you were relieved when he stopped them!
