Probably a silly question but am I okay to BF when I'm ill?

[intravenouscoffee]

Have been up all night with really horrible stomach bug and just wondering if it's still safe to keep feeding DD or if she might be more likely to catch it from me? I know it's probably a resounding yes and 'don't be so stupid, what do you think mothers did 100 years ago?' but I've never been this ill with a bug and REALLY don't want DD to get it.

You're fine to feed, and will be protecting DD from the bug by passing your antibodies to it onto her.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Sophie. Thought I was being silly but just nice to her it from someone else!
