Can I slip some breast milk into my older DC’s cow’s milk to stop them getting my bug?

[tearnomorono]

Baby and I have had a stomach bug. I don’t want me other DC to get it (they are 4 and 2.)

Is it completely mad to think I can add some of my expressed milk to their normal milk to give them to antibodies to it?

[Creatureofthenight]

Don’t know if it’ll work, but certainly won’t do them any harm, so I’d say worth a try.

Your breast milk didnt stop the baby getting sick so I doubt it’d do any good.

[tearnomorono]

Baby and I got the bug at the same time so breastmilk didn’t have time to catch up with the baby. Yes

[tearnomorono]

No *yes
Why does my phone do this predictive stuff?

Deffo worth a go

[bobstersmum]

It's worth a try but they'll need a good glassful of it to get anything like enough I would imagine. If you can pump enough while you're ill. I had it on Monday and my supply definitely diminished that day until I got back on with the fluids.

I'd try it, you have nothing to lose. Hope it works!

[Haworthia]

I don’t think it works like that.

Won't do any harm. Lots of people still bf children of those ages. People milk is better for people than cow milk.
