An ideas on how to cope with a bad cold while breast feeding? My husband kindly passed a cold on i feel lousy and dd is going though a growth spurt so is constantly feeding. I think she has a liitle cold too as she has been grumpy and sniffly today. I've taken some parecetemal but not feeling any better tried to have an hour earlier when dd asleep but woke sweating with head aching. DD not quite six weeks any advice would be great. ps does having a cold effect milk supply i'm still bf on demand.
