Quick advice needed please

[imissbluesky]

Should I continue to bf 18month old if I have a vomiting bug? Feeling horrendous but did bf dd and now doubting myself. Any advice?

Yes!

Really important that you do - antibodies in your milk will protect your toddler from the same bug. You don't pass on the bugs, but the antibodies, in milk.

HTH

I don't see why not - she has most probably been exposed to the bug already by being in contact with you, by bfing you are sharing the antibodies which your body is presumably busy building....

no expert, but I would have done as you have.

ah, xposted with the expert. good news.

Thank you thats what I thought. Dh made me doubt myself.

Just throw a towel over her if you are actively being sick whilst bfing!!

Don't forget to drink what you can (little sips tend to result in less sick than big gulps) and rest up (not for supply but because you are ill!)
