Sick Mama (XP From Breastfeeding Board) ...

Hello. 

My DD got sick - nasty cold - about 10 days ago and I started getting signs of it 5 days ago and now I have a full blown cold.  I despise colds!  Before DD I used to hop myself up on a combination of Nyquil and cough drops and hide under the covers of my bed until it was over. 

Since DD is ebf, I'm not sure what is ok for me to have.  I've been eating noodle soup, drinking (clearly labled) decaf teas with honey, loading up with vitamin c and trying to sleep - to no avail.  Anyone have any other recommendations?!?  I've gone through more than 2 boxes of Kleenex in 3 days and its driving me nutz!

    Im soooo bad. I took the chestal with honey when DS was still nursing at six months. It says to ask a doctor, but I was miserable and just took it anyway. It's a boiron(sp?) product and homeopathic. I think so long as it doesn't say specially not to take it, they just want to cover their butts by telling you to ask a doctor.

    You can also take regular mucinex (not D).  Do you have anyone who can come over while you nap?  Sleep is going to help the most.

    When I had a cold using a netipot helped a lot. At first it felt very strange and I thought it was gross, but you do what you have to do.

    Thanks all!  Yes I have help.  My mom is coming over today while my Dad and DH work on our deck.  So I think I will use that time to rest.  My problem, which I just need to get over, is when I'm at home I feel like I need to be 110% focused on DD.
