Zyrtec and Breastfeeding

Did anyone else have trouble producing milk while on Zyrtec? I am no longer breastfeeding and am disappointed that I was unable to produce milk for my son. I went to a lactation consultant for months-even tried supplemental drugs to help my supply. I ended up pumping for 5 months (my son was frustrated with me since I wasn't producing and wouldn't breastfeed) and in the end was getting like an ounce and a half for a 45 minute pumping session.

Zyrtec While Breastfeeding

Hi moms! My doc today prescribed Zyrtec for some allergy symptoms that I am having. I specifically asked him if it was ok to take while breastfeeding, he said yes.

I've asked them if there's an alternative. I really want to breastfeed, and want my baby to have all the benefits of being breastfed. I hope someone out there can help me....

**UPDATED** Zyrtec Recall Info

My son takes Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. We just made the leap to the original prescrition strength which is the adult dosage, package, tablet.... My neighbor was telling me about a recent Zyrtec recall. From what I can find online, it is the Children's Liquid Zyrtec that was recalled (along with liquid Children's Tylenol products). Since he needs to go back onto the Zyrtec soon (within a few weeks) for fall, I'm assuming the adult strength was not affected by the recall. Does anyone know for sure? The Zyrtec information line will...
