"Mom is angry because the first Doctor did not tell her that the Steroids
would "Dry up her Milk" she began the prednisone and had a fussy baby day."
Steroids do not dry up the milk, that's ridiculous.
And there should be no problem with cetirizine either.
What I can't understand is the attitude here. If the drug would dry up the
milk, why on earth would they give it to a nursing mother? Can somebody
help me understand? Don't bother, it's not worth it. They will never get
it.
