Pass on bug?

[Twinnies10]

Hey I woke up this morn with the vommitting big, have been feeding ds is this ok? Will he get the bug now?

He will get antibodies your body has made to fight the bug through your mill, so he may get it milder or not get it at all.

Mill, not mill.

I read lots around this when feeding my DS and all the advice said it was fine to keep feeding. I think the antibodies you form can actually protect your baby from the bug but also bugs are not passed through breast milk.

He never caught anything from me and in fact only got ill for the first time when I stopped breastfeeding at 13 months.

Keep feeding him. As Spooked said he will get your antibodies through the milk. If you don't feed him and give formula instead while ill then he will probably still get the bug because he has been in close contact with you but his immune system will have to do all the work by itself. Not to mention the effect on your milk supply.

That's great thanks
