I would have thought not as it's likely to have decongestant properties and they can have an adverse effect on your milk supply. I'm not 100% sure and a quick google didn't say for definite thst it had decongestant in it but I know that things like lemsip are out for that reason (probably others too but the decongestant thing sticks in my mind re pregnancy and BF).

Your right, anything with decongestants are out as it dries up your milk supply. Although avoiding all cold remedies when ill and looking after a poorly baby too makes life pretty miserable, hence wanting to avoid getting ill again! Not sure what the active ingredient in Vicks first defence is though.


I've just asked my sister in law who's a nurse and breastfeeding counsellor who said that as it acts locally (ie- you don't inhale it)it should be fine.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
