If you have a cold or flu, fever, diarrhoea and vomiting, or mastitis, keep breastfeeding as normal. Your baby won't catch the illness through your breast milk – in fact, it will contain antibodies to reduce her risk of getting the same bug. However, being sick and continuing to breastfeed can be extremely tiring.
Yup, its okay to continue to give bm to your lo. If you are on medications, do check with doc to see if they are safe to consume while breastfeeding.
Yes. Wear a mask and clean your hands often. Also if you’re seeing a doc to get meds, inform the doctor that you’re breastfeeding
