Head cold medicine and breastfeeding

[OceanPrincess]

Tarsha be careful with echinacea - for some reason I have in my head that they should be avoided while breastfeeding. Dose up on the vitamin C and rest up Sucks being sick while you're looking after a little one!

Thanks ladies, the pharmacist said plain strepsils are fine and echinacea is fine too. So I got both! Marydean, i will try manuka honey too next time. I hope she doesnt catch anything

If you're a bit snotty or phlegmy you can also try apple cider vinegar in water. I used it when 39 weeks preg, and couldn't believe how well it works. Better than anything over the counter.
