Can anyone advise please?
DS (5 months) and I both have a stinking cold, feel crap and very congested. It's his first cold so horrible to watch him unhappy.
Usually when having a cold I would take a decongestant containing phenylephrine, but I have read that this can decrease milk production, which I obviously don't want. Does anyone have first hand experience of this? And is anyone aware of any alternatives that are effective? Or any natural remedies you would swear by other than sitting in a steamy room which I will be doing for DS anyway.
