What can i use for a cold while breastfeeding a 6 month old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Saline rinses: Drink fluids, rest and monitor your temperature. Wear a mask when feeding and if you have fever, shortness of breath and cough, please have a COVID 19 screening test. Use nasal saline rinses for relief of congestion and a humidifier. Avoid products with codeine. An uncomplicated cold should resolve soon. If you noticed that the baby has fever, congestion or appears unwell. Peds office.
