Possible risk of harm to the infant
Clinical studies about the impact of omeprazole on the baby's body is not carried out and it is impossible to guess what will cause harm to the drug.
Since breast milk is released about 1.1% of the dosage adopted mother. It is believed that a number of omeprazole can not harm the baby, but the drug is not always safe.

Pediatricians say that the digestive tract of the newborn has not yet formed, and getting into the body of a child Breastfeeding minor amount of omeprazole may provoke adverse reactions described above. An additional danger is that not always the deterioration of the baby's health is associated with breastfeeding mothers omeprazole crumbs begin to heal from the diathesis or intestinal colic, unwanted conduct a survey to find out why the baby refuses to suckle or gets restless.
Doctors prescribe Omeprazole when feeding the child only if there is no other, more secure means for the treatment of women. Most gastroenterologists recommend to abstain or drink the medication until the end of lactation, and undergo the necessary treatment after the end of breastfeeding.

Omeprazole and Omez have the same active ingredient, as a structural analogs. If a woman who is breastfeeding, will drink instead of omeprazole Omez, but the potential harm to the infant drops.
If you need treatment
Omeprazole drink while breastfeeding is not recommended - not investigated drug effect on the child's body. medication treatment during lactation only performed if there is no safer means.
In therapy of omeprazole woman should observe the following rules:

Almost all of the active ingredients of omeprazole are displayed on the 3 rd day. According to clinical studies in this period is restored previous acid function. The residual amount of the drug has no effect on the organism and is excreted in breast milk.
a little persuasion
You want to receive omeprazole pregnant and lactating appeared recently, Before the drug was administered to women if there were indications during pregnancy and lactation. It was believed that it is a safe drug for heartburn and other symptoms caused by high acidity. Some women, in these conditions, continue to take omeprazole without a doctor's appointment on the advice of friends or guided by previous breast-feeding experience.
But before you engage in self, consider the following facts:
- Despite the fact that through the placental barrier and passes into breast milk a small amount of the drug, it may have a negative impact on child development;
- On the fetus and newborn affected by many unfavorable factors related to the environment and stress the mother and the additional intake of medication is an additional stress for a small organism;
- Despite the fact that the active substance is rapidly cleared from the body, damage at the cellular level, the child may appear several years after receiving the drug mother.
Before you try to get rid yourself of heartburn and other unpleasant symptoms using omeprazole, mom should think about the kid. Uncontrolled intake of the drug may not have an impact on the child's body, and may cause serious disorders that adversely affect the subsequent psychophysical development of the child.
Besides, the medicament temporarily reduces the acidity, but does not eliminate the cause of the generation of hydrochloric acid. Omeprazole without a doctor's appointment brings only temporary relief from acidity and harm the baby.
short result

- The possibility of a substitute. There are drugs that have passed clinical trials and safe for newborns. Doctors are trying to replace omeprazole is safe for the baby medication.
If the conduct of omeprazole treatment can not be postponed, at the time of treatment, the child's mother feed ban feeding, to avoid possible negative consequences for the child and the therapy under medical control. It is not necessary to break the recommendation to phase out breastfeeding, even if it seems that there is no risk to the baby's health. It should be remembered that the effect of the drug on the child's body has not been studied, and the possible negative consequences of the child will be a few years later.
