Hi, I am breastfeeding my LO but I am having a bad diarrhoea can i still be close to my LO as I know that diarrhoea can be spread. I don't dare to take any medication due to breadfeeding him. Any advice?

Yes you can still continue to breastfeed your baby. That is not an issue. However, diarrhea can be very contagious. Do ensure to wash your hands with soap at all times before handling your lo. And if you have a hand sanitizer that would be best.

It is actually gd that u continue latching so that your bm will contain the antibodies to prevent your bb from contracting diarrhoea from u

thanks
