ease a cold whilst breastfeeding?

[deletedit]

*snort* ease, you say. Practically rules out every effective over-the-counter remedy as virtually all of them have decongestants. Colds when breastfeeding are sent to test us.

You're basically down to ye olde basics your grandmother used. Lemon and honey (if you have a sore throat, put some liquid panadol or mash a soluble painkiller in it), head over a steaming bowl of water, Vicks, chicken soup, and really keeping up the fluids. And aloe vera tissues!
