You can take ibuprofen too, and that's pretty much about it.

I hope you feel better soon, bf'ing when you really feel ill is tough. Doable, but tough.

Night Nurse.

Or, if you can find it, Vicks Medinite.

Don't think night nurse, contains a decongestant which can reduce milk supply. Ibuprofen definitely okay

Def NOT Night Nurse and co-sleeping.

Same here :(

It's tough looking after LOs when you feel terrible. I've just been dosing on paracetamol and homemade hot toddies.

Feel well soon!

Hope you feel better soon too.

Its pants bf when ill and she is 13 months so can climb up on me lift my top and help herself and i cant fight her off Grin

It should be like guilds where you get badges for feeding when ......... insert illness or embarrasing situation.
