Medications while BFing?
The last few days I've been feeling kind of sick. I've been sneezing like
there's no tomorrow and my nose is so plugged up. My eyes are constantly watering, oh, and my nose is so plugged! Did I mention I've been feeling like garbage lately?? I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can take something like Neo Citran. I know this can't be taken while pg, but is it alright while breastfeeding? I can't keep feeling like this all day and all night for much longer... The box says not to take while pregnant, but it says nothing about breastfeeding |

Also, steam is supposed to be better at clearing up a stuffy nose than any over the counter medication. Have a hot shower or a hot bath, after the kids have gone to bed. Get as much rest as you can - probably a challenge with 4 kids! Pharmacies will also sell saline nose squirter things. Those are non-medicinal and supposed to help by washing out the congestion. Good luck! Stacey |

Good luck! Stacey Isn't Fenugreek supposed to help with respiratory congestion, too?? Can only be good for the milk supply! Jo -- Woman, Wife, Mother, Midwife |

Actually, NTITOI, Mucinex might have something with an antihistamine in it. Jess |

Good luck! Stacey Isn't Fenugreek supposed to help with respiratory congestion, too?? I have no clue... Maybe? The guy at the health food store said that it's good for a number of things. Can only be good for the milk supply! Well, not long ago, I was taking it religiously. I do think it was working. Now that I've been feeling kind of really sick, I haven't been. I spent most of yesterday in bed... From about noon until about 8pm. DH took care of the older ones. DD2 spent a good portion of the afternoon sleeping and snoozing with me, then later she went down with everyone else and DH brought her up to bed with me when she was hungry. I've noticed since yesterday that I feel A LOT fuller. Last night I had to try to force DD2 to eat for my own sanity. She wouldn't eat much once she had already eaten an hour earlier. When she woke up for her regular feed, I felt like I had giant melons attached to my body. When I fed her today about half an hour ago, once again, melon city. She had a hard time getting on and her latch wasn't the best. She did fine, though, and she got a good latch, as usual, after about 5 mins of draining a little. All I've taken was 2 Tylenol. I feel a lot better today when compared to yesterday, but I always feel so full that it's almost painful. Jo -- Woman, Wife, Mother, Midwife |
