POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. Preparations containing paracetamol are suitable for use by breastfeeding mothers up to the maximum dose of two tablets four times a day. If the baby needs to take paracetamol suspension, transfer from the mother's medication is too small to be harmful in addition. Both can take their own full and normal doses.These small amounts are unlikely to do your baby any harm but, since paracetamol without caffeine will still work, it's an easy way to avoid extra amounts of caffeine getting into your breastmilk.” And do remember, adds Dr Philippa, that your maximum dose for paracetamol is 2 500mg tablets, 4 times in 24 hours.Paracetamol is the first choice of painkiller if you are breastfeeding. It appears in breast milk in very small amounts which are very unlikely to harm your baby.
