I took buckley. Is it compatible with breastfeeding? If not, how many hours should I wait before breastfeeding my baby?

Hello Ma'am,

It depends on the formulation. Some formulations contain a decongestant that decreases milk production (but is not really harmful as such to baby).

P.S. Usually, there is no need to delay returning to breastfeeding.
