"What can I do for congestion while breastfeeding?"

If you are experiencing congestion while breastfeeding, it is important to prioritize nasal hygiene using saline solution. This should be done as often as needed throughout the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Avoid using decongestants as they can reduce milk production. If a nasal spray is causing drowsiness, you may want to consider discussing alternative options with a healthcare professional.
