Would breastmilk antibodies help poorly 1 year old?

Me, dp and just turn 1 year old DD have a flu type illness. I'm breastfeeding baby DS (who doesn't seem unwell yet)
Because I'm ill with it, would there be any useful antibodies if I expressed some milk for DD or would it not really do anything?

It would certainly be worth a try - it will have antibodies in it, so may help your DD recover faster.

Yes definitely give it a go, I'd give some to DP too!
