I think I might be coming down with the flu. Any recommendation on the type of medication I can take that would not affect breastfeeding?

Suggest you see a doctor if you are down with flu instead of self-medicate. Inform the doctor that you are on breastfeeding. If you are sick with flu, you will want to limit contact with your baby. You can ask someone else to bottle-feed your baby instead. If that is not possible, try to limit your baby's exposure to your gems by: *wash your hands with soap and water before touching or carrying the baby. *wear a mask *wash your breasts with mild soap and rinse thoroughly with warm water before feedings.
