My question is: What can I take for a allergies or possible sinuse infection that will not effect my milk supply? I was goofy and have taken Ty*enol Allergy Multi-Symptom for the last couple of days because I just couldn't breath through my nose any longer and needed to do something besides hot tea and hot showers. When I pumped last night and today I am only getting drops now. Please tell me I don't have to start over on the protocol. We have been placed with a baby now and I am at my wits end not knowing what to do. Thank you for any help!

If you are looking for OTC remedies I would contact an LC to see what is safe. Breathing steam with a bit of eucalyptus always helped me. I also have used sinus oil from my local health food store too with no adverse effects. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5! Raising 2 grandbabies, as infants they were raised on donor breast milk

It should pick up again. Of course, I am basing this on using benadryl just at night, not continuously. Hope that helps, Nancy
