I am a nursing mother with moderate asthma that is pretty well-controlled during non high allergy months. My allergist put me on Singulair before I was a mom. The 10mg dosage was way too much for me, backaches and headaches and restless feeling. I went down to 5mg and it was better. I went off of it when the allergy season was gone. My allergist suggest I try it again. I've taken it once or twice since I've been nursing and I usually take the 5mg dosage. I notice dramatic behavior changes in my baby each time. Crankiness, more angry and high anxiety (much more clingy than usual). He is about 2 years so the allergist said it shouldn't affect him negatively. Needless to say, I am taking myself off of it again and staying off this time. At least until I have weaned my dairy intolerant kiddo. I'm glad to have found this website!
