Can little sleep affect your immune system?

[Sparkly12]

Since having my 3rd baby 5 weeks ago, I feel like I've constantly got a cold, or that I'm fighting something off, with aches and shivers and headaches
my newborn has caught 2 of the colds too, so I guess I'm constantly worried he's going to pick up whatever I'm fighting off.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, definitely. But if you're breastfeeding, are you sure you don't have mastitis? Or even an infection internally?

@SnapdragonToadflax
I'm not breastfeeding but I did have a c section and currently on antibiotics for an infection for it, so I guess it could be this too!

Theres a lot of covid around at the moment, so could be that also.

You might need different antibiotics. I would definitely go back to your GP and have a chat about it.
