Tips for Healthy Breastfeeding with Dr. Alexandra Cox PA-C

Breastfeeding is one of the hardest parts of motherhood, but it can be very rewarding for you and your baby. If you choose to breastfeed, you may find that you run into some challenges along the way. Some mothers have trouble producing milk, while others can’t get their baby to latch on or they latch on too hard. No matter what your breastfeeding needs are, the postpartum wellness team at Atracare Health is here to help you.

When you are breastfeeding, you are going to burn several hundred more calories each day than you normally would. It’s important to increase your water intake and make sure you are eating enough to support your body while feeding your baby. Eating a healthy, balanced diet will ensure that you and your baby are getting the proper vitamins and nutrients. If you are having trouble breastfeeding, the best thing you can do is talk to a healthcare professional who can provide you with the guidance you need.

Treating Cold and Flu Symptoms at Home: What You Can Do to Feel Better

This article explains how most healthy people can manage cold/flu symptoms at home using over-the-counter medicines and supportive care. It breaks down what helps specific symptoms—acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and aches, decongestants for congestion (with cautions about blood pressure and rebound congestion), antihistamines for runny nose/sneezing, and cough suppressants or expectorants depending on the cough type—plus soothing options for sore throat like lozenges, warm liquids, saltwater gargles, and honey (for ages 1+). It warns against doubling up on the same active ingredients (especially acetaminophen in multi-symptom products like DayQuil/NyQuil) and encourages asking a pharmacist if unsure. It also lists emergency symptoms and high-risk groups who should seek medical advice, and emphasizes rest, fluids, humidifier use, and sleep as key to recovery.
