Tummy bug and bf 7wk old

[ladypop]

It's just that really - I think I have a stomach bug as feel totally drained/achey and have been throwing up this evening I am bf my 7 wk old baby. What's the chances they will become ill too? Also have a 3 yr old......joy of joys! X

The great thing about bf is it is naturally antibiotic, you will just need to be careful about your fingers and mouth being clean and coming into contact with baby. Just be really careful about hand washing especially around loo and eating. May wish to clean door handles etc. I had horrid D&V a few months ago and 12 wk baby was fine, did not catch it. Hope you feel better soon, hate sickness, (((hugs)))
