Hi,
Me & DS have a cold - what can he have, and what can I have while BFing?

Thanks

him - Medised or plain paracetamol syrup & ibruprofen. You, er, paracetamol and ibruprofen really. PITA isn't it? I liked hot ribena with soluble paracetamol in it - I convinced myself it was blackcurrant lemsip. Must say, that if you keep taking the paracetamol, it's surprisingly effective.

is lemsip OK for me?

Calpol OK for him?

No don't have lemsip while breastfeeding

what symptoms do you have?

everything... fuzzy head, funny ears, runny and blocked nose at the same time (!?!), sneezing, coughing, sore throat, headache, drowzy...

back and neck ache aswell- forgot that

Avoid anything with aspirin in it. I am sure lemsip has aspirin. You can have paracetamol and ibuprofen. Cough remedies are actually a con mailnly but you can take a simple linctus if it makes you feel better. Better still trya teaspoon of honey for you. Baby will get plenty of antibodies in your breastmilk - use karvol capsules if breathing is blocked. Hope it passes soon.

thanks Ill send DH out, as all I have is lemsip in
