Decongestent ok??

Help--so sick!  What decongestants, if any, are ok to take while bfing???

Re: Decongestent ok??

  • I don't take any antihistamines as they dry everything out and that can impact your supply. When I had a nasty cold/strep throat 2 weeks ago, I use saline spray to help with my congestion. Delsym for my cough. Tylenol for everything else.  Nursed like crazy in hopes that the antibodies would help the girls from getting it. Not sure if it worked, but neither baby got sick.

    Hope you feel better!

  • Ditto PP. They'll hurt your supply. I've been allergy plagued for almost 2 years now since I quit taking my allergy pills when I got pg. Saline and steams can help. Feel better!
