Скачать или смотреть Pepto Bismol and Breastfeeding

Diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, indigestion and upset stomach are horrible while you’re trying to take care of your little one. Pepto-Bismol can be used to help relieve these and other digestive problems, however NOT WHILE BREASTFEEDING. The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismol is a type of drug called a subsalicylate, which is a bismuth salt of salicylic acid. The risk of problems from salicylates is thought to be small. However, there is no definitive clinical research on subsalicylates in pregnant women or those breastfeeding. It isn’t clinically known if Pepto-Bismol passes into breast milk. However, it is known that other types of salicylates pass into breast milk and may have harmful effects on a breastfeeding child.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using caution with salicylates such as Pepto-Bismol while breastfeeding. And the National Institutes of Health suggests finding an alternative to Pepto-Bismol altogether. Antacids like Tums and Rolaids would be safer alternatives.
