February 2 --

Q: For regular sore throat, runny nose congestion type colds, what cold medicine can I take that will not adversely effect my 3 week old, 8 week premature baby?

A: Plain Sudafed, saline nose spray, cough drops, Tylenol plain, Advil plain, Echinacea. That's about it. Antihistamines will dry up your milk.
