Dear lactnetters, one of our NICU nurses just delivered a plump juicy baby boy!! Nursing going well, but mom has allergies that cause severe headaches.  She is already on allergy injections - do any of you know if the injections would be contraindicated for breastfeeding?  Also, she takes Sudafed Decongestant.  Is there a med or an herb that would help with the allergy-type headaches but not interfere with breastfeeding?  I was concerned that  taking a decongestant or antihistimine during nursing may decrease milk supply.  Appreciate all replies - you may email me privately or share your answers with fellow lactnetters.  Thank you.
