I'm MISERABLE! I usually don't take drugs but being a WAHM to my DD is too much! I can't call in sick (the boss is a meanie ) and I need relief. This cold started last night and my nose is stuffy, my ears ache and my throat is sore. WWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What can I take that won't get passed on to Katherine? Thanks in advance! -------------------- Cary

Well you can take anything you could take while PG, which means sudafed is OK. Decongestants can cause slight decrease in milk supply though.

when I had a cold I was told I could take anything over the counter as long as it was the non-drowsey. They said no matter what you take a small (very small) amount will be passed through the breast milk, and if your worried about it then about 1-2 hours after taking it pump and dump, that will decrease the amount recieved in the BM.
