It works extra well if you use it in the shower after being in the steam for a couple of minutes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617888 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:09:49 +0000 bisous 1617888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Got my neti pot! I have delayed getting one for so long because I was afraid to use it. Lol, now that I have done it, I am not sure why!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I got the actual pot, but I know what you mean because the sinus rinse thing was in my instructions (I guess bc they are similar products?)!</p> <p>@sarahbs: I never knew that about Zyrtec. My doc said it was okay to keep taking but I am definitely looking into it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617835 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:23:21 +0000 LovelyPlum 1617835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: :( I hope that you can get some relief soon. It's a bad year for allergies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617831 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:21:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 1617831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: cvs has a neti pot and a squeeze bottle sinus rinse that does the same thing. That's what I got- it's just a little easier for me to squeeze than pour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617791 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:04:06 +0000 .twist. 1617791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing, but breathe right strips are AAAAHHHMAAAZZZING. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617788 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:03:05 +0000 sarahbs 1617788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched from Zyrtec to Claritin when pregnant because I was told that Zyrtec is not especially safe for breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617606 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:58:13 +0000 Cara M. 17 1617606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm paranoid about a supply drop and also taking medications. I just put raw local honey in my mothers milk tea every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617566 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:50:05 +0000 catlady 1617566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: I think CVS does have neti pots. I've seen them at whole foods too, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617557 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:47:59 +0000 bisous 1617557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Me too on the tea! It's soothing but so temporary!</p> <p>I am going to get a neti pot now. Think CVS would have one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617549 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:45:58 +0000 bisous 1617549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: it's been awhile since I tried Claritin, but it's good to know it's safe. Maybe I will try it.</p> <p>I soooo wish I could have a dose of NyQuil right now! I love nursing but I definitely look forward to being able to medicate when sick when I am done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617547 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:45:34 +0000 tinyperson 1617547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617544 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:44:56 +0000 catlady 1617544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None. I've had a couple bad colds this winter and tried to drink alot of hot tea mostly. </p> <p>I've used a neti pot in the past though, and I think it worked well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617543 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:44:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 1617543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wondering the same thing, but I really should just use the neti pot. I just never feel like doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617534 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:42:27 +0000 pinkcupcake 1617534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't take anything - too anxious about losing my supply. Neti pot helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617507 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:35:20 +0000 ShootingStar 1617507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took mucinex d very sparingly (1/2 dose 1x/day) and I had no supply issues. I also made sure to keep eating lots of calories and drinking a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617503 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:34:17 +0000 sandy 1617503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALittleP: hi friend!</p> <p>@bisous: i took Flonase while BF bc it doesn't dry you out as much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617492 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:29:54 +0000 singingbee 1617492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: Claritin. It's the safest for bf. I've taken it daily and while pregnant. Regular, Not the d kind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617407 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:59:14 +0000 ALittleP 1617407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None for the most part unless it gets really bad. Then I pop an Allegra. But I don't take it for consecutive days. Just once here and there to relieve the symptoms for 24 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617238 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:49:48 +0000 bisous 1617238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I am going to have to try that! I haven't before but I am definitely willing to do anything that works at this point! </p> <p>@LovelyPlum: That is the one thing I do take right now! It's not doing much for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617193 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:28:40 +0000 LovelyPlum 1617193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zyrtec! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617144 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:08:42 +0000 lawbee11 1617144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: None. But the neti pot has been a lifesaver! I use it twice a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-mamas-what-coldallergy-meds-do-you-take#post-1617132 Tue, 06 May 2014 16:04:02 +0000 bisous 1617132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay. My allergies (or this cold...whatever it is) are killing me. What do you take that works? Sudafed does the trick but I stopped taking it when preg and know it will be detrimental to my supply. </p>
