It is a newer antihistimine. I wonder if the mother would be interested in
using an older, more tested antihistimine? 

Usually if you cannot use it for a younger child/baby, its use with a
nursing mother becomes more suspect.

Best wishes,
Sam

Help please.  I can't find levocetirizine in my Hale.  I did find some info
online - it seems to have rather nasty side-effects and I found the
following:

"FDA pregnancy category B. This medication is not expected to be harmful to
an unborn baby.  Xyzal can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing
baby. Do not give Xyzal to a child younger than 6 years old."

Anyone with some info for me?  Many thanks.
