Questioning medication for a nursing mother? Everyone around me says something different.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

It's very understandable that medication use while nursing confuses you — when everyone says something different, you get worried.

The most reliable approach is this: Look for "safe for nursing mothers" or "can be used under doctor supervision" in trustworthy sources (like official drug guides approved by the Ministry of Health or international databases like LactMed), not someone's comment on a forum or from friends.

In short: Don't use any medicine without checking with your doctor first and telling your pharmacist "I'm nursing." Your doctor will tell you the right choice and duration. This is best for both you and your baby.
