It’s that time of the year when littles share germs and you play that fun game where you guess the sickness 🤧 here are some breastfeeding tips to consider if you get sick

🤒 Read the active ingredients on the drug facts before taking an over the counter medication. If you’re experiencing a respiratory sickness, try to limit or avoid the use of oral decongestants. Instead, try a nasal decongestant or nasal saline spray. Always consult your medical provider for safe medications to use while breastfeeding.

🤒 Keep breastfeeding or pumping! Your body will make natural antibodies in your breastmilk for your baby to help them fight off any infections!

🤒 Give yourself the appropriate amount of rest and fluids. Your body may slow on milk production if you experience dehydration. Foods like watermelon, bone broth, and coconut water are helpful to keep your body hydrated.

Please reach out to your OB or midwife with questions on safe medications while breastfeeding. Contact an IBCLC to help with decreased production after being sick and questions on routine while sick.

Keep Breastfeeding Going After Hurricane Helene

Even during stressful times, your body can continue making plenty of milk. Frequent feeding, keeping your baby close, and finding a comfortable space to nurse will help keep your milk supply strong. Adding formula can reduce milk production and increase the risk of bacterial exposure, especially when clean water or refrigeration isn’t available.

We are happy to announce that North Carolina parents can now access infant feeding support through the Appalachian Breastfeeding Network Hotline!

The Appalachian Breastfeeding Network hotline is funded by the Ohio Department of Health. North Carolina thanks the Ohio Department of Health for this support.

The hotline is open 24/7, every day of the year.
