Can you take any kind of tylenol , if you
are breastfeeding? Or can you only take
the regular strength? I have had a
massive headache for 3 days now but all
we have is the tylenol rapid release ones.
I dont know if those are ok or just the
original regular strength. Ive heard that
any tylenol is fine but ive heard that
only regular strength too.
I think I got a headache from lack of
sleep and my son shrieking daily cuz hes
having issues with his new sister and
getting attention.

I don't know the answer to that
one......Do you have a doctor you can
call....Or a nurse in the doctors office?

You should ask the nurse on call. I'm
not sure about rapid release...

If you are pregnant or nursing a baby,
seek the advice of your healthcare
professional before using tylenol or any
other
medication.
Hmm , oh well, I know that the regular
strength is ok, but like the rapid release
I beleive is the same mg but they release
faster, I might just ask while we are
there tomorow , if they know. Since we
will be spending most of the day at the
hospital with joseph, he is getting
circumsized at 9am , we gotta be there at
8am and stay for 4 hrs after its done. I
might make hubby go get the regular
strength tylenol. Most meds all say to
consult a dr but the only one I am for
sure of is the regular strength. I think
thats the only pain releiver I recall from
the list they gave me.

When I was released from the hospital,
they gave me a prescription for .Tylenol 3
for my after-birth pains. I flat-out told
the nurse that I wasn't going to fill the
prescription, so she told me I could take
extra-strength .Tylenol instead. I was/am
breastfeeding my daughter, so I assume
.Tylenol is safe for breastfeeding. But
do ask your own doctor just to make sure -
don't take my word for it!

My doc. Told me that I could take those
rapid release tylenols while breast
feeding. Those are a life saver for
headaches/migrains

I'm not breastfeeding yet 'cause .Gabe
hasn't popped out yet, lmao, but man,
.Tylenol .Rapid .Release are such a
lifesaver. I get the worst headaches in
the universe. Looooooves it!
Haha the german drs do not know what
tylenol is, I am gussing the pain
releivers they use something called wait I
dunno it begins with a p, like we refer to
tylenol as acetominophine (sp) they have a
diff name, jason had me trying to explain
to the dr what tylenol was exactly but eh
didnt go over well, im thinking if the
headaches are really bad then I might cave
in and take the tylenol rapid release,
wich I did once, but I was aslo
supplementing her with formula , for some
reason it seemed my milk was really low
the other day and she wasnt eating enough
, she ate the formula like she was
starving, only 3 times has she had
formula, I was scared lol but shes doing
fine with the breastfeeding and me pumping
so that is good
