Mom and baby

My baby and I both have the flu. I gave her Tylenol around 11 and I took Tylenol around 2 and just breastfed her without thinking about it. Will she be okay?

you taking tylenol then nursing her should not affect her -
Yes, Tylenol is a safe medication for breast-feeding moms.
Yes it should be fine. The amount of tylenol that will go into the breastmilk is very small, so it shouldn't cause any problems. You always want to make sure you don't go over the maximum daily dosage of tylenol (for both you and the baby), so make sure you read the label to check on those limits, but this is not related to breastfeeding. I hope you and your baby feel better soon!
