It is safe to take ibuprofen (i-bew-PRO-fin) or acetaminophen (uh-c-tuh-MIN-o-fin) when breast feeding. These medicines can help relieve discomfort of breast engorgement, cracked nipples, mastitis, or breast infection. Always carefully read and follow directions on medicine labels before taking the medicine. Do not take any other medicine without talking to your caregiver first. Ask your caregiver before taking any herbal medicines or supplements.
