@chereeanne: Breastfeeding and need some ideas of beating a cold that won’t transfer to my breastmilk or affect supply. #breastfeeding #mumlife #virus

Alex :

If you ever get stuck for a gp on weekend again, doctors on demand or a platform like that for a video call appointment from home could help you out 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Kristy Aleesha :

honey will help alot with a sore throat

Jenzi :

Roxanne Richards419 :

Kerry.M :

veronicaj7777777 :

Any illness will build immunities through your breastmilk. ❤️❤️❤️Keep nursing and hydrated.

Sally Jane :

Honestly just rest and lots of fluids! My breast milk production increased when I was sick! Be careful some lozenges have the same stuff as cold and flu that will hinder your milk production

Barbra Twomey :

Gargle warm salty water

Marie 💜 :

Make some honey, lemon and ginger tea, the honey will sooth your throat, and the ginger and lemon will make you feel better

caseyc1309 :

Try Elderberry. Don't forget, breastmilk is filtered by mum, and then bubs body also filters and processes.

Lozzy :

Flo saline rinse twice a day

Dany Smith :

Gargle with salt water is what i use for a sore throat x

user1861116932148 :

Isn’t there a helpline you can call? In NSW there’s a helpline call Mothersafe and they can tell you if something is safe to take or not while breastfeeding/pregnant.

iknowlinda :

Lots of gargling with salt water.

Lyn Michael :

lemon and honey, sipping on it now for the same reason

Nicole Pedrazzini490 :

Hope you and Teddy get better real soon. Sending lots of hugs 🤗

Liz :

I think if I remember right you’re in VIC? Mothersafe was such a helpful resource for me in NSW and a quick google said The Royal Women’s has a similar service you can call! 03 8345 3190.

Nicole Thorne355 :

Honey & lemon in hot water and sip on it. Feel better 🫶🏽

Nicole Karaitiana :

Call dr Rodney Whyte he’s the head of medicine for pregnancy and bf in Melbourne uni I believe

Vanessa Juneau :

I used lozenges and nasal spray and it didn’t affect my supply at all!

TaraB1186 :

The first big illness is the one you never forget. Try gargling some warm salt water. Always works a treat for me, just don't swallow it 🤢. I hope you. oth feeling well soon x

Misty Dawn Fry :

every time my 6 month old has been sick and I catch it after him, I ALWAYS stop and think about how much pain he must have been in and i feel so guilty. Now at the first signs of him being sick, I start giving him Panadol and Nurofen because I cant stomach knowing he was so miserable without any support.🫤😨

Jess :
