In this episode of the Milk Minute, we're tackling a question we've been getting a lot lately—what to do when you're sick and still breastfeeding. With everyone (including us) battling colds and other illnesses right now, it's the perfect time to revisit this important topic. We're pulling a rerun from earlier to give you a refresher on which medications are safe, which ones to avoid, and how to manage illness while nursing.

We know it's tough to balance caring for yourself and your little one when you're under the weather, so we're here to offer some helpful guidance and reassurance. We’re wishing you all a speedy recovery and cheering you on as you navigate the challenges of being sick while breastfeeding. Tune in for all the info you need to feel more confident during this time!
