HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Sumo cold contains caffeine, paracetamol, an antihistamine (cetrizine), phenylephrine ( a decongestant).
If you are breast feeding and worrying about the effects on the baby - it should not adversely affect the baby because it should not be in the breast milk in significant amounts.
In terms of effects on you- the caffeine and phenylephrine are stimulating and may affect your sleep.
I hope this helps
