Hi,
It is ideal to breastfeed up to 2 years since the brain requires some essential substance (taurine, cysteine etc.) which are not present in the formula.
Regarding (apetamin) cyproheptadine, it will cause drowsiness in the baby. It is not recommended while breastfeeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
