What can i take to fend off start of a cold while breastfeeding?

[misssese]

Any ideas much welcomed really don't want to miss all my mummy and baby groups this week

Boost your immune system by bumping up the nutritional content of your diet. In particular foods that give you plenty of iron, B vitamins and vitamin C. Kiwifruit is especially good, for example, as it's rich in Vitamin C and helps you absorb more iron from your food. Garlic, chilli-peppers and onions might not make you the most popular member of the baby-group (!) but they have fantastic antiseptic properties.

Keep your fluid intake up.... many of the problems with colds are due to dehydration. Rest is a must... don't try to overdo things. And, if sinuses get blocked, the old trick of putting some Olbas Oil in a bowl of very hot water, making a steam 'tent' with a towel and inhaling is much more effective than decongestants.

Thanks very much will give that a try!
