What Are The Adverse Effects Of Breastfeeding After Accidentally Taking Ecosprin-AV?
Question: Hi... I breast feed my infant who is 7 months old. Today I accidentally took ecosprin av75 which is my mothers medication instead of my usual iron tablet. I'm worried if I can breastfeed
Brief Answer:
You can breast feed your baby after two hours
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I understand that you have inadvertently taken a low dose aspirin tablet. Although aspirin is best avoided while breast feeding, it should not be a problem if you breast feed your baby after 2 hours, assuming that you are not long term on ecosprin (aspirin).
The following link should be helpful for you:

Please note that the side effects are mainly in context of prolonged use of high dose aspirin and not for single dose of low dose aspirin. A single or occasional small dose of aspirin is not likely to have a negative effect
