Brief Answer:
Please don't take any hormonal medication during breast feeding
Detailed Answer:
Hi...I suggest you not to use any hormonal medication during breast feeding. Almost all these medications are secreted in the breast milk and they may have effects on the baby. So there are no safe hormonal medications which are not secreted in the breast milk.

Brief Answer:
Suggestions on cough and cold
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
For cold and cough you can use Cetrizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
