Please say yes and that it won't diminish supply or anything like that....

Not to be gross but i think that mucinex makes your bowel movements loose too, I would be concerned that would do the same to the baby?

Eww, really? I can't find much on the internet. I am just afraid of my supply. I worry constantly about it and don't want it to be affected. I'm also sitting here staring at the Nasocort for this reason also. Chat Icon

Re: BF Mom's-Can I take Mucinex?

I was sick last week with fever and went to the doctor... Mucinex was what he told me to take... and he looked it up to make sure it was BF safe... I did however half the dosage and take right after BF so to limit amount in baby... It didn't affect my supply... hope this helps... feel better!

Mucinex is fine. I've used it while PG as well as while BFing.

I also never noticed any problems with loose stools, with myself or DD.

I didn't notice any problems- BUT, I do make sure I drank LOTS of water whenever I take anything that *might* affect supply.
