URGENT DIAHORREA BREASTFEEDING

[loopyredangel]

I have just suddenly been hit witha bout of the trots, and feeling sick, I am exclusively breastfeeding and my little one doesn't know how to use a bottle yet, can I still breastfeed him?

Yes!!

Its the best thing, especially if your lo gets the same thing.

yes

yes you can and you should. If it is an infection, your milk will pass on protective antibodies.

Keep as hydrated as you can.

Thanks, I was worried I might pass it on to him he's only turned 15 weeks!

keep breastfeeding - and if you're using oral contraception - remember this kind of bug can interfere with it working so you may need to resort to alternative means - unless you want another lo asap - don't mean to sound bossy and patronising - just thought it was worth a mention

thanks northernlurker, there's no chance of anything happening with hubby, I have a knackered pelvis and sacrem joint, he's not coming (oh you take that both ways) in an inch of me

not at your injuries obviously - are you getting physio?

I would make sure that you keep eating also. My milk dried up when this happened to me because I couldn't eat.

i too have bouts of the trots and am bf as well as being 7 weeks pregnant. bit concerend really. got no symptoms apart from the trots that also come with the must run to loo cramps!! did anyone else get trots whilst in early trimester? is this normal? had it for several days now, well about 5! am not dehydrated so do not know what is causing this as drinking lots.

Had a rough night, upchucking and the trots (where does it all come from?!) yes I am back at physio, waiting to get epidural pain relief and facet joint injection, I am only 33 feel like an old woman.
Just had some plain bread and drinking plenty, don't feel I can keep anything else down, I might have some vegetable rice at lunch and see how I go with that. Thanks everybody, sure I will be right as rain by tomorrow.
