"I have a cold and I am breastfeeding, what can I take?"

If you are breastfeeding and have a cold, it is best to avoid taking medication containing pseudoephedrine, as it could affect milk production. Instead, you could try using a saline solution to help with nasal congestion. This can be done as often as needed throughout the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. By cleaning out nasal secretions, you can reduce postnasal drip, which often leads to coughing and congestion. It may be a bit uncomfortable, but it works wonders. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.
