I think I might be coming down with the flu. Any recommendation on the type of medication I can take that would not affect breastfeeding?

There are many natural remedies and over the counter products that are compatible with breastfeeding. You can try the following:- Rest. Drink lots of water and take hot baths. Run a humidifier. Take in extra vitamin C from foods, juices or in supplement form. Echinacea is generally recognized to be safe for nursing moms. Garlic eaten raw, cooked, or taken as a supplement can help. Raw is always best, though it’s hardest to get down.
