What are some tips for managing motion sickness for a lactating mother?
Asked by Female, 30 · 2 months ago
A lactating mother can manage motion sickness by trying simple measures first, such as sitting in the front seat, keeping her head still, and avoiding heavy meals before travel. If medication is needed, antihistamines like meclozine or dimenhydrinate are generally safe during breastfeeding, but should be used at the lowest effective dose after medical advice.
