  • Loratadine (Clarityn®) (Powell 2007, Hilbert 1997),

  • Cetirizine (Zirtek®, BecoAllergy®, Piriteze®, Benadryl®) reaches low levels in breastmilk and is recommended by the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (Powell 2007)

  • Fexofenadine (Telfast®) is a newer antihistamine with similar low levels of transfer and no reports of adverse events (LactMed).

  • Acrivastin (Benadryl Relief®) can cause drowsiness in mother and baby (Lucas 1995). As there is less research it is the least favoured option in younger babies unless it is the only drug that you find effective. In such a situation your baby should be observed for drowsiness.

    We offer tongue tie divisions on babies around 36-37 weeks as we do need preterm babies to develop their tongue function and this can be delayed when born early. We will attend and see baby earlier for feeding support and plans and offer ongoing support. If they do need a division we can offer this on assessment.
