I am breast feeding my 3 month old baby. I am down with a severe cough and cold. Can I have cough syrup while feeding him?

There are many different cough syrups. Some are breast feeding friendly. To be 100% safe you should check with your pediatrician which one is best suited for you. I wish you a speedy recovery!
