I have a cold 🤧

I didn't take cold medicine, but I don't normally anyway. Breastfeeding directly is great, your antibodies will be passed through to your bub via the breastmilk.
Obviously try not to cough on them, and be as clean as possible but apart from that continue as normal.

There’s not much medicine you can take while breastfeeding
Definitely continue to breastfeed as normal
And like the comment above.. try not to cough on baby, wash hands etc
Do the best you can.

Honestly. When you’re sick, it’s super hard not to be close to your babies or when you’re babies are sick same.. it’s that momma life

Breastfeed as normal and stay hydrated, try drinking pedialyte and maybe apple cider vinegar with honey and lemon, try to avoid cold medicines as those can potentially dry up your supply

For medicine check https://www.e-lactancia.org/. It's a website by doctors and nurses with safe meds for bf.

Thank you ladies

I drank so much hot tea with honey and it actually really helped! Just stay away from tea with caffeine or you’ll get super buzzed 🫨

I would ask doctor about safety medication for colds. You can take tylenol and try some natural cold remedies.
Definitely keep breastfeeding your baby will receive the antibodies your body is forming!!
Wear a mask to keep contagious away from baby. I recently had strep and wore two masks day and night ( I co sleep) and baby was fine didn't get sick at all

I was only thinking about taking Tylenol since she has had it. The doctor okay it after her vaccines. I definitely been drinking tea with honey. I only drink caffeine in the morning. I couldn’t give up coffee so I have one cup a day.

Yes coffee is important lol 😆 but yes tylenol and motrin are usually given in the hospital after you give birth anyway so baby has most likely already had those.
Mix honey and lemon together and take a tablespoon of it it helps with cough and sore throat. And pineapple is a way better source of vitamin C than oranges 😌👍🏾

Saline nasal spray is fine for nasal congestion, and if it’s keeping you up at night you can wear Breathe Right strips to help keep your nasal passages open and clear

Try not to take anything with decongestant things in as this is what can dry some women up. I have a cold as well right now and it’s bloody awful. I’m drinking honey lemon ginger and brow sugar tea. And steaming my face really helps relieve my nose.
