While health experts advocate limiting acetaminophen use in pregnancy to only when necessary, some of the most reassuring data comes from a 2022 study in the journal The Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health and a 2024 JAMA study that looked at nearly 2.5 million Swedish children born between 1995 and 2019. Both found no causal link. The Swedish study found a marginal statistical association between a pregnant person’s use of acetaminophen and an increased risk of autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder…
