:wong29:Definitely!!!

All the more you should continue to bf cos you will be passing the anti-bodies to yr darlin'...

But make sure that if you really need to take med, inform the doc tat you r bfing and get med that are safe for tat. From wat I know, most med are quite safe..

Hope you'll get better soon!!!
 
hi, can i still breastfeed when im having flu but not taking any med.....
last time i also got very bad flu and went to doc then doc gave me medicine but not antibiotic as i am bf.

i still bf in that time, but of course due to the medicine i feeling drowsy then no choice give baby press BM.

make sure u cover your mouth when u do BF, if u really can't then give baby the press BM.

hope u getting better soon... take more rest, drink plenty of water. :)

yup. still can breastfeed. baby may get very slight flu symptoms also. but very fast go away, no need see doc. I had a cough 2 months back, BF DS, he end up with a very slight cough and went away the next day.
