Hi all
Fleet enema contains sodium phosphate. It increases bulk volume and
water content of faeces to encourage things to 'move'.
There is nothing in the manufacturer's information about it being
incompatible with breastfeeding. They give a dosage for children over
the age of 2. The amount of phosphate or sodium which would get into
the bloodstream would be minute, and this would have no effect on
breastmilk.
Can't be any worse than a mixture of red hot peppers and water!!!
