I have a friend who is a pharmacist, she was so kind as to give me a copy of a table that showed every kind of cold medicine on the market and whether or not it was safe to take when breastfeeding (5 days after I got over my cold, mind you!!) :o)

Sudafed, which contains pseudoephedrine, is safe to take when nursing, however you should drink lots of water as it can affect your milk supply.

The best thing to do if you have questions is to take the cold medicine to the pharmacist at your drug store, they can look it up in a nifty book and tell you whether or not it is safe to take. Most cold medicines ARE NOT.
