1. Montelukast:
Very low excretion in breast milk
No adverse effects reported in infants
Considered safe during lactation
2. Levocetirizine:
Minimal passage into breast milk
May cause mild sedation or irritability in some infants (rare)
Generally safe for short-term use, especially at night
✅ Conclusion:
Yes, Montair LC can be taken while breastfeeding your 8-month-old baby, especially for short-term cold/allergy relief.
⚠️ Precautions:
Take the dose after breastfeeding (to minimize peak exposure)
Monitor the baby for any signs of:
Drowsiness
Feeding difficulty
Unusual irritability
📘 Reference:
Harrison’s Manual of Medicine – Antihistamines and leukotriene inhibitors are generally safe for lactating mothers with routine monitoring.
