Can I catch colds and sinus infections if I breastfeed my baby?

It is possible to catch colds and sinus issues while breastfeeding. It is advisable to avoid medications containing pseudoephedrine as they may reduce milk production. Saline solutions can be a safe and effective alternative for nasal congestion and runny nose. Over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol can help with fever, aches, and headaches. Other non-pharmacological measures include getting rest, frequent hand washing, avoiding touching the face and eyes, and staying hydrated.
