We are planning to travel with 5month old DD to India in the near future to visit DH family. I guess now is the best time while she is still exclusively breastfed.
The practice nurse just told me that if I get a stomach bug DD will also get it through my breast milk?! Seriously? That possibility had not even occurred to me,I know some viruses such as HIV can be transmitted via milk but a stomach bug? Am I an idiot for not understanding how that would work or was she talking rubbish?
