POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. You should generally wait 2 to 4 hours after taking medicines like Chesttone (a homeopathic syrup), Zyshield (likely a supplement or immunity booster), and most cold medicines before breastfeeding. This allows the body to partially metabolize the medicine and reduce the amount passed into breast milk. However, it's important to check the specific ingredients in each medication, as some cold medicines may contain antihistamines, decongestants, or alcohol, which could affect the baby. Always consult your pediatrician or a lactation specialist before breastfeeding after taking any medicine to ensure it's safe for your baby.
