Will actifed help to dry up my milk supply upon stopping to breast feed?

Answer by  chunli (117)

Yes, Actifed could help dry up your milk. But it is doubtful that you will need it. Milk production is supply and demand so your milk production should slow down with decreased feedings. You can use the herbs sage and parsley to assist in drying up your milk supply.

The active ingredient in actifed is pseudophedrine. It has been shown in studies to reduce milk supply and nursing mothers are warned to use it with caution. However, if you are looking to dry up, it may be just the ticket. Always consult your doctor before taking any medication.

The best way to stop your milk supply is wean your child off slowly, that way your body and milk production can adjust.
