Default Will Oregano Oil Affect Breast Milk?

My wife is a little sick and I recommended an oregano oil capsule. Will the oregano oil affect her breast milk and baby?

thanks...

Hard to say. I don't think there is a way to know. Just try it. It could possibly make the milk taste not right. Your baby will let you know if she wants more of it or not.
I don't think its dangerous.

I think it thins the blood, so I'd be concerned about an infant ingesting it, even via breast milk.

Oil of oregano is not recommended for pregnant women and breast feeding mothers because no studies have been done in this regard.
