Echinacea is perfectly safe to take while breastfeeding.  Golden seal has
questions, so I don't recommend it.

Garlic is a superb immune system booster.  It is most effective eaten raw,
but cooked or in the odorless capsules, it also gives benefit. There are
several brands in the regular drug stores.  I like Kyolic (brand), but
others on this list might prefer others.
