My 4 year old dd has started preschool and is bringing home every cold she encounters. I've started giving her echinacea and was wanting to take it myself but I have heard conflicting advice on taking it while breastfeeding (I have a one-year old nursling). Does anyone know if it is safe?

According to my guru

Kellymom echinacea is fine while nursing.

HTH!

My midwife told me it was fine while pregnant/nursing. My chiropractor gave it to her own kids and recommends it to her patients.

It's possible to be allergic to it, but my family hasn't had any problems with it.
