Do antihistamines reduce breast milk supply?
Antihistamines can potentially reduce breast milk supply in some breastfeeding mothers. This is because certain antihistamines may have a drying effect on bodily secretions, which can affect milk production. However, the impact can vary from person to person.
Key points:
- Some antihistamines may cause a decrease in milk production.
- The drying effect can lead to reduced breast milk supply.
- Individual responses to antihistamines can differ significantly.
- Other factors, such as stress or dehydration, can also affect milk supply.
