Is it okay for the mother to take cold medicine for the baby’s cold?

  Many people will think that if a breastfeeding mother takes a drug, then the drug will be absorbed by the breast-fed baby through the breast milk, so they think that the baby may be treated by the mother after the cold, but in fact, this method is not based on any scientific basis and is not feasible.  Baby cold should be for the baby’s own medicine, can not let the mother take, because the drug in the mother’s body metabolism will lose most of the effectiveness, and through the breast milk to reach the baby’s body is metabolized components, and not the real active ingredients of the drug, and then even if the drug can be secreted by breast milk, but simply can not determine the content of the drug, and how do we know to achieve the therapeutic effect, so that the breastfeeding baby cold The mother’s medicine to treat the baby’s cold is not feasible. In addition, if a mother takes cold medicine while breastfeeding, she should not breastfeed her child immediately, she needs to wait for the drug to be completely metabolized and cleared in her body before she can breastfeed her child, preferably after 48h.  Children with colds should drink more water daily, take better care, keep warm, avoid wind and cold, and take appropriate vitamin C supplements, such as fresh vegetables and fruits.
