What to do if you catch a cold while breastfeeding.

If the mother catches a cold during breastfeeding, the first thing to worry about is whether it will affect the baby if she has a cold, and how to get better quickly. What should I do if I catch a cold while breastfeeding?

1.You can find a cup with a larger caliber, fill it with hot water, and then put your mouth and nose on the mouth of the cup, keep breathing steam, let the steam continue to fill your face, insist on three times at a time, and the cold will speed up the recovery.

2.For lactating mothers with cough, you can use boiling water to take raw eggs, add ginger juice and sugar, stir well and eat to have a cough effect.

3.Chicken soup has the effect of improving the quality of breast milk, in fact, drinking more chicken soup can also improve our mother's immunity, can prevent the occurrence of colds, and for mothers who have caught a cold, it can also relieve the symptoms of colds such as runny nose.

4.One of the easiest and most effective ways to drink more hot water after a cold is to drink plenty of hot water, although it sounds cliché, but its effect is not negligible. During the cold, drink plenty of hot water, pay attention to light diet, rest well, and have a regular schedule and rest, and the cold will get better soon.

Breastfeeding mothers should deal with the cold in time to prevent the aggravation of the condition, prevent the cold virus from invading the baby, make the baby cold, and do not breastfeed the baby. Cold viruses can be transmitted to babies through breast milk, and babies have weak body resistance and are susceptible to the invasion of viruses that lead to colds. The mother will take some drugs during the cold, and the *** of the drug will also affect the baby's growth and development through breast milk.

Therefore, if a lactating mother has a cold, she must drink more warm water and take some cold medicine to get better as soon as possible.

Take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor, and do not resist hard, so as not to affect the quality of breast milk. Pay attention to wearing a mask.

What medicine to take for colds during the lactation period.

What kind of medicine should I take for a cold during the lactation period? Under normal circumstances, if the mother's physical condition is not particularly bad and the cold is not serious, then you may wish to drink more water to promote metabolism.

In addition, mothers can also take some vitamin C appropriately, and there is no need to take any special medicine at this time.

If the mother is planning to take cold medicine, then take some Chinese patent medicine, you can drink cold and heat clearing powder, banlan root and other traditional Chinese medicine. If you don't know which prescription, over-the-counter cold medicines, or even Chinese medicines are available while you are taking the medicine, then you must ask your doctor in detail and follow the doctor's instructions.

I would also like to remind all mothers that it is best to have a family member who can help take care of the BB during the cold, rest more, and as long as you do not delay when breastfeeding, you can do it faster**. If you are too close to your child, you can breastfeed while wearing a mask. Newborn children have a certain immunity of their own, so there is no need to worry too much about passing it on to the child and dare not breastfeed.

How to prevent colds while breastfeeding.

For diseases, prevention is more advantageous than **, and the following methods can be tried to prevent colds during breastfeeding.

1. Life and rest should be regular and normal: This sounds more difficult, because the baby is day and night, and often has to get up several times at night to feed the baby, so it is difficult for mothers to live a regular and normal life. But no matter what, breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to reasonable rest, long-term overwork can easily lead to other diseases.

2. Balanced nutrition: Lactating mothers are very weak because they have just given birth, and their bodies have not fully recovered, and they have to feed their babies breast milk, so they need to supplement all aspects of nutrition. In terms of nutritional supplementation, it is necessary to have a balanced balance in order to ensure the high quality of breast milk.

3. Moderate exercise: Moderate exercise can enhance the mother's immunity and make the mother more energetic.

4. Maintain a happy mood.

5. Minimize contact with patients.

If you have a cold during breastfeeding, drink more water to metabolize, and it will be fine.

At this time, you should never take medicine by yourself, and you should see a doctor more often, under the guidance of the doctor**, and then slowly recover. When you have a cold, don't breastfeed anymore, you can give your child milk powder instead.

At this time, you should drink more boiled water, drinking boiled water can help detoxify and make the cold get better as soon as possible.

During breastfeeding, if the mother has a cold, the baby can no longer continue to drink breast milk, the baby can drink more milk powder, and then wait for the mother to get better before drinking breast milk.

Go to the hospital to dispense medicine, indicating that during the lactation period, the doctor will consider the dispensing and will not affect the baby.
