Brief Answer:
You can continue breastfeeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.

You have not swallowed any phenyl and it has already been 14hours since you took it and there are no adverse effects till now.

Since it has not gone into your system, it will not affect the baby even if you breastfeed. Do continue with the breastfeeding.

Hope this answers your query.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal
