Howdy from a cold, wet, soon to be white Tennessee! I had a question from the mom of a 5 month old exclusively bf baby who wants to know if the herb echinacea is okay for her to take. Apparently her family just got over the flu and she was thinking that she wished she could have taken it during that period. (So in other words, time is not critical on this one.) She has tablets that have only the herb in them. She also asked if there was a list anywhere of herbs that absolutely should NOT be taken while she is breastfeeding. Thanks for any help on this one!
