This is 2nd hand from a pharmacist

Loratadine (Claratyne) is the safest none-drowsy antihistamine
Drowsy antihistamines have been used for years and are considered safe. Watch for sedation and irritability. (Polaramine and Phenergan)

Most studies only really look at newborns, so with older babies and toddlers the transfer is even less of a concern.

I use telfast and have done since being pregnant/feeding as I was told it was safe. It's never had any impact on dd. I would be useless without it some days! Hay fever season has hit hard and fast this year. Hope you get some relief soon!

Hate spring lol

I took Claratyne with no problems while BFing DS.
