Dear Jeannette,
This is anecdotal, since its my personal experience, but I've taken
echinacea (both extract and tea forms) during nursing,
whenever I feel a cold coming on, and have
given the extract to both of my kids (who are now 7 and 2). None of
us have had any problems, and it seems to help, especially at the
beginning of a cold.
