Hi, its new mom here. I have a problem and I would need an advice from you. I have a new born baby (two weeks old) and already a problem. I have diarrhea that has been bothering me for some days. I want to take Pepto-Bismol but I dont know if I should. Does Pepto-Bismol affect breast milk?
Hi, I am a mother with some experience. You should not take any medications while you are breast-feeding, especially if your doctor didnt tell you to. Pepto-Bismol can excrete in breast milk so your baby can get some of it. Why dont you ask your health care professional about your diarrhea problems?
