“With paracetamol or ibuprofen, you need to make sure you don’t take more than the recommended dose in a 24-hour period,” he said.
It should be noted, adds Dr Philippa, that some paracetamol tablets also contain caffeine to help relieve pain better. And, it’s best to avoid this one if you can.
If you drink coffee or tea, you have already given your baby a small amount of caffeine. This small amount won’t harm the baby but since the decaffeinated paracetamol will still work, it’s an easy way to avoid the extra amounts of caffeine getting into breast milk.
