"Laura and Bella" wrote in message . .. | Thanks, I was thinking about googling it, my brain went dead while I was | writing about it.

I had a look on Hale's website and it stated the following about pseudoephedrine (medicinal ingredient in Advil C&S)... http://neonatal.ama.ttuhsc.edu/discu...es/43/689.html "As for decongestants, the only one left on the market is pseudoephedrine. My group is just now publishing preliminary work suggesting that pseudoephedrine may significantly reduce milk production in some moms (late gestational). So I recommend caution with pseudoephedrine containing anti-allergy, cold products. Brief use such as for a day or so, may not be too bad in some moms, but in late gestational moms ( 6 months) then milk production might fall." Being that my daughter (10.5 months) has the same cold and is now refusing solids because she has the cold and is only breastfeeding I didn't take it as I don't want to take the chance of my milk production falling.

. .. | Thanks Nadine I dont want to either. Bella is 13 months old. And I dont | want to take something that will slow down the milk production. I am sure | its slowed down enough as it is. | Bella is sick too and so is rob and i. Did you find anything to take for | your cold? Nope haven't taken anything other than drinking lots of OJ and taking multivitamins. I know it is safe to take most cough syrups like Benelyn (sp?). Some of those claim to have a decongestant, however, I took some with my last cold and it did SFA. I guess I'm just going to tough it out. I may pick up some Echinacea and see if that help. Nadene |
