I'm nursing a bad case of colds right now. My throat's getting sore and itchy likewise. I could easily take and consider nasal drug treatment but the problem is I'm lactating. I don't want to expose my son to risks caused by such so it's wise if I just follow and observe the natural remedies:
* Rest. Drink lots of water and take hot baths. Run a humidifier.
* Take in extra vitamin C from foods, juices or in supplement form.
As for the colds itself, it won't cause any harm to my baby. It's actually advisable to continue breastfeeding because "babies receive specific antibodies to protect against their mothers' illnesses via the milk, which greatly reduces the likelihood of illness", iVillage says.
